Rajinikanth may be the biggest attraction in ‘Jailer 2,’ but actor Namo Narayana has emerged as a surprise favourite among fans. His character, Pazhakkadai Moorthy, has won praise for bringing humour and unexpected moments to Nelson Dilipkumar’s action entertainer. Despite the film featuring several popular stars, including Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Hrithik Roshan, Vidya Balan and SJ Suryah, many viewers have singled out Moorthy as one of the most entertaining characters. His scenes with Suraj Venjaramoodu’s character, especially their chess match, have become talking points among audiences.
‘Jailer 2’ fans demand a Moorthy spin-off after Namo Narayana’s performance
Social media users have been asking Nelson to make a separate film centred on Moorthy. One fan wrote, “We deserve a full-fledged MOORTHI spin-off. Thor and Harry Potter references were blastmaxx.” Another viewer suggested that Nelson should explore a full-length comedy film with Namo Narayana in the lead role. “If Karthik Subbaraj is making films like Mercury and Dorothy, why can’t Nelson make an out-and-out humour film with Namo Narayana in the lead role? Sureshot theatre would go bangers,” the fan posted. The reactions show how Moorthy’s comic moments have connected with viewers beyond the film’s main action scenes.
Namo Narayana’s chess scene and dark comedy win ‘Jailer 2’ audiences
Moorthy’s chess match with Suraj Venjaramoodu has become one of the scenes fans are discussing after watching ‘Jailer 2.’ The character’s confidence and unusual way of handling situations add to the film’s dark humour. One viewer praised the writing, saying, “What with all that Rajinism throughout the film, another important character is this Pazhakkadai Moorthy. Nelson’s dark comedy works brilliantly with this character.” The fan also recalled a dialogue about Moorthy that drew laughter in theatres. His scenes involving a tea shop and the chess match have helped make the character memorable.
