Jailer trivia

At the Jailer music launch, Rajinikanth had shared a memory from the shooting of the film. Talking about director Nelson, he said according to Indianexpress.com, “He made me do one take 8 to 9 times. It was in front of Ramya Krishnan for one particular expression. Even Ramya got a bit awkward as I was doing it again and again. This Padayappa lost his face in front of Neelambari because of Nelson. He will not let you go unless he gets what he wants.”
