Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer has breached the Rs 500-crore mark at the global box office, surpassing the Mani Ratnam-directed blockbuster Ponniyin Selvan: Part I’s lifetime collection of Rs 498 crore, trade reports highlighted on Monday.

Jailer collected approximately Rs 470 crore worldwide in its extended first week of theatrical run, followed by Rs 17.22 crore on second Friday, Rs 26.86 crore on second Saturday and Rs 29.71 crore on second Sunday. The film's global box office earnings have now reached Rs 543.96 crore, according to trade reports.
