Rajinikanth in Jailer.

Sun Pictures on Monday released the second single named Hukum from the upcoming movie Jailer, which stars Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. Besides composing the heroic song, Anirudh Ravichander has also sung the lyrics written by Super Subu.

Hukum, which means order, will satisfy the core fanbase of Rajinikanth. Earlier, the filmmakers defied expectations by releasing a party song titled Kaavaalaa featuring Tamannaah Bhatia . And the song received mixed reactions, although it has been inspiring endless dance videos and Instagram reels since its release.

Hukum, however, is a perfect Rajinikanth song that generously pays an ode to the Superstar's rich cinematic legacy. The song presents Rajinikanth's character as an old tiger and it warns the new rivals, who may not be aware of his history. One of the verses of the song says to the young generation that he was the man who their fathers cheered and whistled for.

Judging from the lyrical video, it's clear that Rajinikanth plays a ruthless cop, who rules a prison with an iron fist. At the beginning of the song, he notes that in that prison, he is the apex power and anybody who goes against his order will be met with a severe punishment. And there are also visuals of his character that seems to be at the disposal of enough gun power to wage a war against a country. It seems Rajinikanth plays a classic cop, who is willing to bend rules to protect society from dreaded criminals.

Jailer is written and directed by Nelson. Besides Rajinikanth and Tamanaah, the film also stars Shivarajkumar, Mohanlal, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi, Redin Kingsley, Vinayakan and Jaffer Sadiq.

Jailer is due in cinemas on August 10.
