Why Rajinikanth said no to Baashha 2 and Petta 2 before choosing Jailer 2
Rajinikanth has explained why he declined proposals to continue two of his most popular films, Baashha and Petta, before deciding that Jailer offered the right foundation for a sequel.
Speaking at the Jailer 2 Super Show pre-release event, streamed on Sun NXT, the superstar said he is generally cautious about sequels, which can sometimes repeat the original instead of building on it.
Jailer, he felt, had the right characters and world to extend — a judgment the franchise's box-office record appears to have vindicated.
The remarks come a day before Jailer 2's October 15 release, the biggest Tamil event film of the season.
