Rajinikanth’s last theatrical outing in a lead role was Jailer, an action comedy directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. Releasing in August 2023, the film received positive reviews from critics and emerged as a mammoth commercial success, minting over 600 crore INR. The film’s success brought ‘Super Star’ back on track after facing continuous setbacks until then.
Keeping aside the guest appearance he made in Lal Salaam (2024), he’ll be next seen in a full-length role in Vettaiyan, an action drama film helmed by T. J. Gnanavel of Jai Bhim (2021) fame. Produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under the banner ‘Lyca Productions’, it also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati in key roles. Coming to the point, an interesting leak regarding this film has surfaced on the internet and gone viral. According to this leak, the story is set in 1980s-90s India, and Rajinikanth will be seen as a dedicated police officer who fights against corporate exploitation of educational institutions. Fans went gaga over this theory, and in no time, it broke the internet.
As of today, over 70% of filming has been completed, and the remaining portions are aimed for completion by April 2024. The film is expected to have extensive poet-production work owing to its retro style; the makers are reportedly planning for a Diwali release.
