Tough to get solo release: Yami Gautam on Nayyi Naveli releasing with Jailer 2

Actor Yami Gautam Dhar recently talked about the release of her film Nayyi Naveli alongside Rajinikanth's Jailer 2, saying it has become difficult for films to secure a solo release window. In a recent post on X, she said she was grateful to audiences for giving her film a chance and called it an honour to release alongside a Rajinikanth-starrer. Nayyi Navelli arrived in theatres on October 16, a day after Jailer 2.Yami shared her views while responding to a social media user who praised Nayyi Navelli but questioned its release timing. The user wrote, "Movie badhiya hai (The movie was great). Timing with Jailer 2 was not optimum."Responding to the comment, Yami said, "Nowadays to get a solo or just 2 films release window is difficult. It's very difficult to make a successful film today, hence I appreciate everyone's effort to have done their best :) And I couldn't be more grateful to audience for giving us a chance (sic)."She also expressed her admiration for Rajinikanth, adding, "Having said that, just like millions of people I am also a huge Rajni sir fan. It was indeed an honour for me to have my small film release along with sir's, which I am myself looking forward to watch soon (sic)." Jailer 2, which released on October 15, has grossed over Rs 475 crore worldwide in five days. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film follows Tiger Muthuvel Pandian (Rajinikanth) as he takes on a larger idol-smuggling syndicate linked to the gang he defeated in the 2023 film Jailer. Meanwhile, Nayyi Navelli marks Tamil director Balaji Mohan's Hindi debut. Yami plays Mohini, a woman suspected of being a daayan, or witch, by her new in-laws.
