With 2023 almost going to witness the release of every Tamil actor, one of the most anticipated films, is Rajinikanth's Jailer. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, and with a star ensemble, the latest update is that Jackie Shroff is also starring in the film. 

Recently, at a press interaction outside Jodhpur station, Jackie Shroff revealed that he is a part of Jailer and that he has been filming for it at Jodhpur. Jailer marks Jackie and Rajinikanth’s third collaboration together. Earlier, the duo worked together on Uttar Dakshin, directed by Prabhat Khanna, in 1987. The film was later dubbed in Tamil titled Chella Pillai. They also worked together in Kochadaiyaan.
