Jailer Casting Update: Popular Comedy Star Gets On Board!

Nelson’s

Jailer
went
on
floors
yesterday,
and
a
poster
showing
the
Thalaivar
with
his
super
swag
was
released.
Today,
the
team
confirmed
a
few
of
the
casting
choices
a
few
minutes
back.

As
reported
earlier,
Ramya
Krishnan
is
part
of
the
cast.
Vasanth
Ravi
of

Taramani
fame
has
been
added
to
the
team.
Vinakayan,
who
was
seen
in

Maryan
picking
a
bone
with
Dhanush,
will
also
play
a
role
in

Jailer.
The
team
has
also
mentioned
Yogi
Babu
as
part
of
the
cast.
He
has
been
a
part
of
all
the
three
films
that
Nelson
has
directed
so
far.
He
is
expected
to
bring
in
his
usual
laid-back
humour
on
screen,
enhanced
by
Nelson’s
own
quirkiness.

Priyanka
Arul
Mohan
and
Shiva
Rajkumar
have
been
speculated
to
be
a
part
of
this
project,
but
we
have
to
wait
to
see
when
the
team
officially
announces
them
on
board.

The
Ramya
Krishnan
and
Rajinikanth
combo
has
already
sold
the
film.
The
two
stars
created
a
monstrous
commercial
hit,

Padayappa,
back
in
the
year
1999.
KS
Ravikumar
who
directed
the
film
has
been
rumoured
to
have
taken
part
in
the
writing
process
of

Jailer.

Jailer
is
being
directed
by
Nelson,
and
is
being
bankrolled
by
Sun
Pictures.
The
director
has
joined
hands
with
the
production
for
the
second
time
in
a
row.
Considering
the
stars
that
he
has
previously
worked
with,
he
has
the
track
record
to
raise
expectations,
and
expectations
indeed
have
risen.
