IT Raids at Rakul Preet Singh’s Residence – Actress Responds

It all began in September 2026 when the Income Tax Department conducted search operations in over twelve properties in Mumbai linked to producer Vashu Bhagani, who happens to be the father-in-law of Rakul Preet Singh. Connecting the dots, multiple media sources began linking her to the alleged financial irregularities and benami properties.

Growing Speculation

For othose unaware, Rakul is married to actor-producer Jackky Bhagani, the son of Vashu Bhagani. It is because of this family connection the Telugu actress‘s name has been pulled into the IT raids issue that is otherwise irrelevant to her. Amidst this growing speculation on social media, she finally broke silence with an official tweet on X (formerly Twitter).

Rakul Hits Back strongly

Calling the reports “false, malicious and speculative,” she urged those who published them to retract and clarify the claims. Rakul Preet Singh further stated, “It cannot come at the cost of facts. And certainly not at the cost of someone’s reputation and livelihood.”

Jailer 2 USA Pre-Sales Cross $300K Despite Low Buzz

0

Rajinikanth‘s Jailer 2 USA premieres are showing a positive trend at the box office, with pre-sales nearing the $300K mark despite relatively low buzz among fans. While the film’s songs and promos haven’t generated the anticipation many expected, the Jailer 2 pre-sales numbers indicate strong underlying demand for the Superstar‘s return as Muthuvel Pandian.

USA Pre-Sales Performance

So far, Jailer 2 has collected close to $300K in USA premiere bookings, a respectable figure given the muted promotional campaign. The trailer is set to release soon, and if it resonates with audiences, industry observers expect Jailer 2 pre-sales to jump significantly in the coming days. The film is positioned for a strong opening across North American markets.

The USA market has been crucial for recent Tamil biggies, and Jailer 2 is banking on the goodwill from the first film's massive 2023 success. Given that Jailer was a sleeper hit that grew through word-of-mouth, the sequel could follow a similar trajectory.

What’s Driving the Bookings

Despite lower-than-expected promotional buzz, several factors are fueling Jailer 2 pre-sales. Rajinikanth‘s star power remains unmatched in Tamil cinema, and the character of Muthuvel Pandian became iconic after the first film. Director Nelson Dilipkumar‘s unique blend of dark comedy and action also has a dedicated fanbase.

The sequel faces Kollywood's notorious sequel curse, but early booking trends suggest audiences are willing to give it a chance. The film’s ensemble cast and the promise of high-octane action are working in its favor.

Cast and Story Details

Jailer 2 continues the story of Muthuvel Pandian, with Rajinikanth reprising his role from the 2023 blockbuster. The narrative picks up where the first film ended, expanding the Jailer universe.

The sequel features an impressive ensemble including Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, and Suraj Venjaramoodu in pivotal roles. According to reports, Suryah, Suraj, and Vidya are playing antagonists. Special appearances by Hrithik Roshan, Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, and Vijay Sethupathi are also expected, though these haven’t been officially confirmed by the makers.
