Till date, only two films of Tamil cinema have managed to mint a worldwide gross of INR 100 crore on their first day of theatrical release: Leo and The Greatest Of All Time. Yes, no other star apart from ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay has done it.
Now that Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan is gearing up for release, experts predicted it to join this elite club. But sadly, it is not happening. Owing to its genre, the film’s advance bookings are quite ordinary worldwide.
Vettaiyan might mint a gross of INR 20 crore from Tamil Nadu; at the overseas belt, the numbers are likely to be around $4 million. With that being said, this action drama’s first-day worldwide figure will be around INR 70-75 crore. Clearly, there’s absolutely no way this T. J. Gnanawel’s action drama can enter the 100-Crore-Openers Club. It must be seen if Suriya’s Kanguva would get past this line.
