'Jailer', starring Superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is a huge success globally. Fans are celebrating the characters of Muthuvel Pandian, Mathew, Narasimha, and Varman in the film. Several people are heaping praise on Vinayakan, who played the villain in the film.

Meanwhile, actor Vasanth Ravi, who played Muthuvel Pandian's son in the film, said that Rajini told him that Mammootty was supposed to play the role of Varman in the film. He said this in an interview given to a Tamil YouTube channel.

"Mammootty Sir was first decided as the antagonist. It was Rajini sir who said this on location. However, Rajini sir said that he felt bad about giving such a role to Mammootty and felt it was not right. Rajini sir himself then called Mammootty sir over the phone and told him they can do another film together.' Vasanth Ravi said.
