Before the launch, the actor spoke to the press in Hyderabad and answered a few questions.
Both films will be released in all South Indian languages and Hindi, though they’re originally Tamil and Telugu, respectively. Expectations are high on both films, and it remains to be seen how they fare at the box office. Jailer 2 and Ranabaali are releasing just a day apart, on October 15 and 16. Jailer 2 is a sequel to Nelson’s 2023 hit Jailer. Rahul and Vijay previously worked together in the 2018 film Taxiwaala.
There’s a batch that drops Reels at a time that they’d rather watch Jailer 2 over Ranabaali, despite it being a Telugu film,” he said, addressing the chatter around the clash with Jailer 2. The actor then added, “I won’t change; they’re the ones who need to. Because someone thinks my dreams and hard work are unnecessary, he gave a pause before asking, “Should I stop. Because someone thinks my honesty comes off as arrogance, should I start acting. Because someone thinks my self-confidence comes across as pride, should I step back. Because he believes trolls are being ‘paid’ to target him, vijay then stated that whatever he faces online isn’t even ‘hate’. Because 90% of it is manufactured.
Vijay reacted strongly when asked about the trolling he faces online. If they cannot digest my journey, must I sit at home? I wish people concentrated on bettering themselves for their families. I enjoy success stories a lot. “First of all, we can’t even call it hate. He also added, “People can have opinions, but if you see the same opinion everywhere, it’s manufactured. No one can stop it. The person paying them will stop.”
What they must understand is that the attacks they’re paid for today, AI will do tomorrow.
