The reason behind this special holiday was explained as an attempt to prevent an influx of leave requests to the HR department due to the much-anticipated release of Rajinikanth's movie. The company even went the extra mile by showing support against piracy and offering free tickets to its employees for 'Jailer'.

'Jailer', produced by Sun Pictures under media magnate Kalanithi Maran's banner, features Rajinikanth in the role of a retired police officer. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film boasts an ensemble cast including prominent names of South Indian cinema like Jackie Shroff, Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi, and Vinayakan.
