Rajinikanth’s Warning to Young Fans

Rising Concerns over Fan Safety in Tamil Nadu
Last month, five fans of the actor-politician Vijay sustained injuries when their vehicles collided with each other while they were following him. Last year, at least 41 people were killed and around 100 others were injured in a crowd crush during Vijay’s rally in Karur district.
The film was supposed to hit screens on January 9 for Pongal as a final celebration for Vijay’s fans before he enters politics. The film’s producers, KVN Productions, heavily marketed the film and later argued in court that they would face an over ₹ 100 crore loss from a delay. Still, the release was postponed amid delays in certification by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). No release date has been set yet.
Rajinikanth’s Upcoming Projects: ‘Jailer 2’ and More
Rajinikanth was last seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie. He will be seen next in Jailer 2 and in a film co-starring Kamal Haasan . Jailer 2 is an action-comedy that is a sequel to Nelson’s 2023 hit film Jailer. Rajinikanth returns as ‘Tiger’ Muthuvel Pandian, while Ramya plays his wife, Vijaya ‘Viji’ Pandian.
