'Jailer' news: Sun Pictures owner Kalanithi Maran gifted gold coins to around 300 people who worked for Rajinikanth’s superhit film Jailer. The viral video of the event featuring Kalanithi Maran was shared by Sun Pictures on its official handle. The video shows Maran handing out gold coins to 300 technicians and workers associated with the Rajinikanth-led action-thriller.
Soon after this, Jailer cinematographer Vijay Kartik Kannan thanked Maran and Sun Pictures for their gesture. “Such a great gesture of sharing the success with all the workers and technicians of jailer. Thanks to the entire team and Sun Pictures,” Kannan wrote in a post on X formerly Twitter.
Film critic and trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan also said that Rajinikanth’s Jailer team has taken an initiative to reward the real people who worked for the film.
“In an era, where Gold coins are given to certain people outside movie team and are no way related to movie just to promote the normal star & film. Superstar #Rajinikanth's #Jailer team has taken an initiative to reward the real people who worked for the film. This is the difference between actual success and on ground reality compared to online false hype,” Vijayabalan said.
Netizens also heaped praises on the Sun Pictures team for the heartwarming gesture towards the team behind Jailer. “Maran sir you are great.. saying thanks is easy by gifting to such a big number and also to social well fare.. God bless you with many many success.. so that people under you get benefit,” a user wrote.
