Jailer 2 team releases full Ala Bolelo video: Shamna Kasim reveals she was pregnant during shoot
The makers of Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 have released the complete video of the popular song Ala Bolelo, giving fans a closer look at one of the film’s much-discussed dance sequences.
Sun Pictures unveiled the full video on Sunday, approximately two months after releasing the song’s lyrical version. Directed by Nelson, the film features a special sequence led by Shamna Kasim, accompanied by a large group of dancers.
The sequence also features Suraj Venjaramoodu and Rajinikanth’s characters. In an earlier interaction with Cinema Express, Shamna revealed an interesting detail about the shoot: she was pregnant while filming the song, although she discovered it only afterwards.
Composed and sung by Anirudh, Ala Bolelo features lyrics by Arunraja Kamaraj. Additional vocals have been provided by Niranjana Raman, Aparna Harikumar and Deepthi Suresh.
When the song first came out, some Malayalam-speaking audiences questioned the authenticity and meaning of its lyrics. However, its energetic music and choreography helped it gain popularity among listeners.
The newly released full video has already attracted approximately 50,000 YouTube views, while the earlier lyrical video has crossed the 100-million-view mark.
The song’s unusual lyrics also became a subject of humour during a promotional event featuring Jailer 2 actors Suraj Venjaramoodu and Mirnaa. Suraj jokingly questioned whether the words were actually Malayalam, while Mirnaa said they had searched several dictionaries without finding a clear meaning.
Meanwhile, Jailer 2 continues its theatrical run despite competition from recent releases, including Suriya’s Scene, Nayanthara’s Mookuthi Amman 2 and Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana.
After emerging as the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time, the Rajinikanth-starrer is scheduled to arrive on Prime Video on November 12 (Thursday).
