The promo for the song 'Ala Bolelo' from the film Jailer 2, featuring Rajinikanth and Shamna Kasim, has faced significant backlash from Malayali audiences over poor Malayalam pronunciation.
Social media users criticized the lyrics and vocals by Anirudh Ravichander, with many claiming the Malayalam words were mispronounced or sounded like gibberish.
Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures, is scheduled for release on October 15, 2026, and features a large ensemble cast including Mohanlal and Jackie Shroff.
