Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 screenings halted in Canada over technical issue

Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, has stopped screening at York Cinemas in Canada due to a technical issue involving the film's North American distributors. The exhibitor announced the decision on Wednesday, October 21, citing the non-availability of valid Key Delivery Messages (KDMs) required to continue screening the film.

The development comes less than a week after the film's theatrical release on



October 15. Jailer 2 has reportedly grossed over Rs 540 crore worldwide within its first week, with the festive period around Navaratri and Dussehra contributing to its box-office performance.

In a statement shared on Instagram, York Cinemas informed patrons that screenings of the film would stop with effect from October 21. “This decision is due to circumstances beyond the control of York Cinemas,” the exhibitor said.
