The much awaited Rajinikanth starrer Jailer is set for an August 10 release, according to the film's team. Jailer has been in the news for a while now, ever since its announcement. Reports say that the film will see Rajinikanth in a very new kind of role, one that is not usually associated with the megastar. Production house Sun Pictures will be teaming up with the popular banner Ayngaran International, for the overseas distribution and release of this much-hyped Rajinikanth film.
