In the film, Rajinikanth plays the role of a police officer, who is an encounter specialist. However, the story follows him as he realises that his methods are wrong, after an intervention from Amitabh Bachchan’s character.
The film also features Amitabh Bachchan, who is a human rights activist in the film, Dushara Vijayan, Rana Daggubati, and Manju Warrier.
In fact, this film is Amitabh Bachchan’s debut in Tamil films.
During the success meet held earlier, TJ Gnanavel said that he is looking forward to creating a prequel for Vettaiyan.
He said that he wishes to delve into the life of Athiyan (Rajinikanth) and how he became the encounter specialist and also focus on Fahadh Faasil’s transformation from a thief to a police informant.
Vettaiyan was shot across several locations in South India and Mumbai.
The Tamil movie features music by Anirudh Ravichander, marking his fourth collaboration with Rajinikanth.
The technical team also includes cinematographer SR Kathir and editor Philomin Raj.
“Vettaiyan is a blend of class and commercial elements making it a complete entertainer. Rajinikanth’s swag has definitely worked in this TJ Gnanavel film which is based on extra-judicial killings,” our review read.
Rajinikanth is now working with Lokesh Kanagaraj, on Coolie. The director however clarified that the film will not be a part of the LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe).
