The fall in Jailer’s box office numbers can be attributed to the film’s high-definition (HD) version of the film being leaked online. Earlier this week, Jailer’s HD version was leaked online on Tamilrockers, Movierulz and other Torrent sites even before details of its OTT release are known.

Rhevanth Charan, director of Rohini Silver Screens in Chennai appealed to moviegoers and fans to not share the link of the movie after the film’s HD print started circulating on X formerly Twitter. "I request fans to not share any form of HD content of #Jailer movie on social media and let people enjoy it in theatres as it is meant to be. Let's not support piracy at any cost (sic)," Charan said on X.
