Jailer 2 song Ala Bolelo wins fans despite Malayalam pronunciation row
Excitement is building around Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Jailer 2, with the full version of its song “Ala Bolelo” receiving a strong response from fans online.
The sequel to the 2023 blockbuster Jailer is scheduled to hit cinemas on October 15, 2026.
A 32-second promo of “Ala Bolelo” was released earlier and drew criticism from some social media users over the pronunciation of Malayalam words in the song. However, the full track, released on Friday, has received considerable attention from fans.
One user reacted to the song on social media, saying, “Theatre gonna be blast,” comparing its energy to “Kaavaalaa,” “Tiger” and “Muthuvel Pandian Investigation.”
Song sparks Malayalam pronunciation debate
The promo featured Rajinikanth and Shamna Kasim, with Kasim dancing in a traditional kasavu saree. The clip ended with a brief appearance by Rajinikanth.
The song contains several Malayalam words, but some Malayalam-speaking users objected to their pronunciation.
One social media user urged the filmmakers to avoid using Malayalam in songs or dialogues unless it is pronounced correctly, saying that incorrect pronunciation could feel disrespectful to the language.
Another user suggested hiring a lyricist and singer familiar with Malayalam.
Despite the criticism, the song’s promo also received plenty of positive reactions from audiences.
The music for Jailer 2 has been composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Arunraja Kamaraj wrote the lyrics along with Niranjana Raman, Aparna Harikumar and Deepthi Suresh.
The film has been written and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Kalanithi Maran under the banner of Sun Pictures.
