The journey of both films has been different so far, and Rajini mania has been prevalent in the Telugu states as well. The jailer posted excellent collections and received a robust word of mouth compared to Bhola Shankar, which received mostly negative response. Such a dominance of Jailer has shown that the Bhola Shankar’s theaters are filling with the overflows of it.

On Saturday, Jailer collected a solid Rs 4 crores in the Telugu states, while the rest of India and overseas Telugu business stood at Rs 1 crore. Bhola Shankar managed only Rs 3 crores, which is truly shocking compared to this. The trade circles expected that the film, Jailer’s Telugu version collections will surpass Bhola Shankar’s collections today. It’s surprising that a dubbed movie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth, is dominating Chiranjeevi’s release in this way.

Today, Jailer was on a rampage mode at the box office from the noon shows itself. The theaters are registering house fulls and as there is heavy demand for the tickets, the distributors added the shows and theaters as much as possible.

But the demand for the tickets of Jailer was very high and due to committed agreements Bhola Shankar is running in most number of the theaters and the Jailer overflows in Telugu states are turning into an advantage of Bhola Shankar to some extent.

In Jailer, with just 5 minutes screen-time, Shiv Rajkumar stunned everyone with his mesmerizing screen presence, and he is getting all the love from other language audiences. Definitely this will be a turning point for him and now the big projects in other languages are expected to approach him for crucial roles and utilize his star image.

“When I was writing Jailer’s story, I thought of roping in several superstars in the movie — one character from Bihar, another from Kerala, and the other from Mangalore. So, I decided to cast Mohanlal sir and Shiva Rajkumar sir. I also thought of doing portfolios or taking pictures of them when I meet them in person,” Director told in an interview given to the YouTube channel.

“Mohanlal sir called me to say that Jailer is doing a roaring business in the theaters across Kerala. Shiva Rajkumar sir too called me to say that his character is getting a good response from Kannada film lovers. He will watch Jailer in Mysore Saturday, 12 August,” Nelson added.

“When these superstars asked me if they could play much larger roles in my next movie, it really made me happy. Even I wanted Balayya (Nandamuri Balakrishna) to do a role in Jailer. A cameo role of a powerful police officer was in my mind for him. But it didn’t work out. So, I didn’t move forward with it,” the director told in an interview.
