Jailer has been running successfully in theatres. With the return of megastar Rajinikanth with Nelson Dilipkumar as director, the film has been a rage down South. However, from September 1 onwards, the prints of the movie will be altered with one scene removed from the movie. It is related to a scene featuring a contract killer wearing the Royal Challengers Bangalore jersey and making derogatory and misogynistic comments about a lady. Now, the makers have resolved the issue after the Delhi High Court directed them to alter the scene.
