The trailer dropped on October 2, slipping out in four languages—Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada. The Tamil version took its seat on Sun TV’s YouTube channel, their satellite partner, no less. Gemini TV hosted the Telugu version, while Sony Music’s YouTube page held the Hindi. For Kannada, Udaya TV stepped up. No corners were cut.
Cast and Production: Star-Studded Lineup
The film Vettaiyan is a heavy hitter, action from end to end, directed by TJ Gnanavel. Subaskaran of Lyca Productions rolled the dice on this one. Rajinikanth, the man himself, holds the reins, but the cast list runs deep: Amitabh Bachchan, first time on Tamil soil, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, and a few more names worth knowing—Ritika Singh, Dushara Vijayan, Abhirami.
They say it’s Lyca’s thirtieth shot at glory. We’ll find out when Vettaiyan lands in theaters on October 11, 2024. The clock’s ticking.
Plot Overview: The Battle for Justice
The promo kicks off, with 159 seconds of heat. In the trailer, a crowd surges, demanding the head of whoever raped and murdered a woman. The tension is thick, and it doesn’t take long to see this isn’t an isolated flare-up. The whole country’s got its backup.
The cry for blood gets louder. The cops try to play the part, but their investigation’s going nowhere fast. Not enough evidence, not enough smarts. So, they hatch a plan—a dirty one. Enter Rajinikanth, a cop with a badge and an appetite for encounters. When injustice rears its ugly head, he seems to think, the law’s got no business sitting on its hands. His justification for shooting first, asking later.
But Amitabh’s character throws down the counter. “Justice delayed is justice denied,” he says. “Justice hurried is justice buried.” Clear as day, he’s not on board with the dirty work. Meanwhile, Rana’s a business shark, and Fahadh’s just another thief playing his odds.
Rajinikanth’s Health Scare During Filming
Rajinikanth found himself in a hospital bed at Apollo Chennai on Tuesday, after a bout of stomach pain hit him hard during the shoot for Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie. They didn’t perform surgery on him, but it was close enough. Word is, that Prime Minister Modi made the call, checking in on Rajini’s health through his wife, Latha. Tamil Nadu’s BJP Chief confirmed it.
Conclusion
Vettaiyan has action in spades, with Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, and Fahadh Faasil at the helm. The story’s as rough as they come—justice twisted by corruption, vengeance simmering on every street corner, and a country caught in the crossfire. The trailer makes one thing clear: this is going to burn hot. With a release set for October 11, 2024, and a director like TJ Gnanavel steering the ship, Vettaiyan promises to deliver a hard-hitting ride for anyone craving high-stakes drama.
