‘Jailer’: Makers of Rajinikanth starrer to alter scene with RCB jersey after Delhi HC order

Amid a successful run at the box office, the makers of ‘Jailer’ were dragged to court and asked to alter a scene with Royal Challengers Bangalore jersey.

Makers have told the Delhi High Court that they would digitally alter the clippings of the movie which shows a contract killer wearing the jersey and making derogatory and misogynistic statements about a woman.

Sun Pictures, the production house of 'Jailer', said the change would be made by September 1. They also assured that the film with the altered scene would be telecast on TV and OTT platforms.

The RCB counsel had approached the court after finding out that the film has a scene in which a killer wears the IPL team’s jersey.

Following that the court ordered, ‘The Defendants as also all parties acting for or on their behalf including their distribution network shall be bound by the above terms and conditions. With effect from 1st September, 2023, in the theatrical depiction of the film Jailer the RCB team jersey shall stand edited/altered. The Defendants shall ensure that after 1st September, 2023, none of the theatres would exhibit the RCB jersey in any form whatsoever. Insofar as television, satellite or any OTT platform is concerned, prior to the release thereof, the altered version of the film shall be broadcasted/telecasted.’

‘Jailer' is an action drama written and helmed by Nelson Dilipkumar. Besides Rajinikanth, the film also features Vinayakan, Ramya Krishnan, Vasanth Ravi, Sunil, Tamannaah, and Yogi Babu.

Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar and Jackie Shroff have cameos in the film.
