The Tamil movie 'Jailer,' directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and featuring Rajinikanth, was slated to release alongside its Malayalam counterpart, also titled 'Jailer,' directed by Sakkir Madathil and starring Dhyan Sreenivasan. Both films were originally set to debut on August 10.

Disputes arose between the two projects over the shared title 'Jailer.' The conflict escalated when Sakkir Madathil claimed that his film was denied theatre screenings due to the overpowering presence of Rajinikanth's high-budget Tamil production.

In protest, Madathil staged a one-man demonstration on August 1 in front of the Film Chamber on MG Road. His aim was to spotlight significant concerns, including the challenges faced by Malayalam cinema in the face of Tamil film dominance.

However, recent reports indicate that the disagreement has been resolved, leading to the postponement of the release of the Malayalam film 'Jailer,' starring Dhyan Sreenivasan. The new premiere date is now scheduled for August 18th.

Meanwhile, the Tamil film 'Jailer,' starring Rajinikanth, is set to release on August 10. The world of entertainment is abuzz with anticipation as the much-awaited movie 'Jailer' is about to hit the screens.
