Actress Mirnaa, who plays the daughter-in-law of Superstar Rajinikanth in director Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2, has posted a heartfelt note of gratitude, thanking Rajinikanth for blessing her with 'a life she had wished for' — a message that comes as the film cements its status as one of Tamil cinema's biggest blockbusters of the year.

Mirnaa's Message of Gratitude

Taking to her social media timelines, Mirnaa wrote: 'One Sun. One Moon. One #Superstar. Thank you for making #Jailer2 a MEGA BLOCKBUSTER. Thank you @rajinikanth sir for blessing me with a life I've wished for. Thank you my dearest director Nelson Dilipkumar sir for making me a part of the Jailer canvas and all the trust you've had on me. Thank you @sunpictures for being the best production house.'

A day before the film's release, the actress had also posted a picture of herself with Rajinikanth, writing: 'Frame-ah paarunga ji! What an absolute blessing it has been to have worked with the one and only #Superstar again. #Jailer2 is releasing tomorrow, please do watch it in theatres near you. Sambavam sirappa irukum.'

Celebrities Across the Country React

The euphoria around Jailer 2 has extended well beyond Tamil Nadu, drawing an outpouring of praise from stars nationwide. Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh took to his X timeline to share a mid-film reaction during the interval, writing: 'Watching Jailor 2 - its interval now - Maha Blockbuster ….. Rajni Sir's aura is on another level- Dir Nelson & the team - take a bow !!!!! Do yourselves a favour -watch the film- coz It's HUKUM -TIGER KA HUKUM.' After the film concluded, he posted again: 'B L O C K B U S T E R! Had such a great outing !!! I have clapped, whistled and cheered at every entry- it was a celebration in the theatre - superstardom thy name RAJNI sir …. #Jailer2.'

Actor, producer and parliamentarian Kamal Haasan also congratulated his longtime friend on the film's worldwide superhit status, writing in Tamil: 'News has come in that Jailer 2, starring my dear friend Rajinikanth, which released today has emerged a superhit worldwide. Heartfelt congratulations to my friend Rajinikanth, director @Nelsondilpkumar, music composer @anirudhofficial, and the @sunpictures team.' Director Nelson Dilipkumar was quick to respond, saying: 'Thank you so much @ikamalhaasan sir, for your kind words. Coming from a legend like you, it means a lot! #jailer2.'

First Day First Show Reactions

National Award-winning actor, director and producer Dhanush, who watched the first day first show, was among the earliest to post a reaction. He wrote on X: 'JAILER 2 is a MUST MUST MUST watch. BLOCKBUSTER (followed by a number of fire symbols). A FEAST for every Thalaivar fan.'

Director Lingusamy offered a nuanced take, writing: 'In #Rajinis's 51-year journey, I feel that after Baadsha, #Jailer2 is the film that has truly made the most of Rajini sir's aura, especially in the first half, which I can keep watching over and over again! The second half is a bonus. Congratulations on the grand success to Thalaivar @rajinikanth sir, @Nelsondilpkumar, @anirudhofficial, @iam_SJSuryah sir @sunpictures and the entire team.'

Director Venkat Prabhu called it 'simply fire', while director Karthik Subbaraj praised the ensemble cast, noting the rare assembly of stars including Mithun Chakraborty, Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Jackie Shroff, Vidya Balan, and Hrithik Roshan — all appearing in a single Tamil production. Actors Vishnu Vishal, Soori, and producer Nagavamsi were also among those spotted at the first day first show.

What the Success Means

The blockbuster reception for Jailer 2 marks yet another milestone in Rajinikanth's 51-year film career, with the franchise now firmly established as a major commercial engine for Sun Pictures. Notably, the pan-India celebrity response underscores the cross-regional appeal that few Tamil films command. The film's success is also a significant validation for director Nelson Dilipkumar, who first teamed with Rajinikanth on the original Jailer.
