Jailer

With the Jailer showcase, released yesterday, fans now notice that the film's lead character is inspired by the character of Mike Ehermantraut. The actor in the series is known for his action, and Rajinikanth's dialogue about how, after a point in time, he does not talk and only kills has made the audience think about the character from the Breaking Bad series.

Doctor

The film starred Sivakarthikyan and Priyanka Arul Mohan in the lead roles. Reportedly, Sivakarthikeyan's character as Dr. Varun was inspired by the series character Gus Fring. While Sivakarthikeyan pretends to be a child trafficker while running a simple ice cream parlor, Gus Fring runs a drug mafia while running a fast-food chain restaurant.

Beast

Nelson Dilipkumar directed Beast in 2022, and it starred Vjay in the lead role. The movie was a commercial hit, but it did not live up to his standards. However, the film was a commercial action story, and it did not lie with any instance or was not inspired by any character or role from Breaking Bad.
