A hush fell over the Tamil film‑fest scene as the highly anticipated Jailer 2's release schedule took a sharp turn.
The crux? A row over a four‑week versus eight‑week OTT window that could mean the Hindi version never reaches the multiplex stalls in North India.
Team Idhyah, the film’s PR wing, shot down the early chatter, insisting the Hindi cut will open on Thursday, 15 October 2026, alongside its Tamil and Telugu counterparts.
PVR‑INOX and Cinepolis have stuck to their eight‑week stance, and sources say they’re unsure whether to even screen the Tamil or Telugu cuts in the region, leaving the Hindi version to be confined to single‑screen theatres.
On the bright side, the film will land on Amazon Prime Video in November, lining up with Diwali and promising a digital blockbuster for the star‑packed cast, which includes Hrithik Roshan, Vidya Balan, and Vijay Sethupathi.
Now, the big question for fans is whether the multiplexes will relent, or if the regional version will carry the film into the North India box‑office battleground.
