Rajinikanth’s next Vettaiyan is gearing up for the grand release on Thursday, 10 October.

The film directed by TJ Gnanavel will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.

While the multi-language release is as expected, Vettaiyan is making news as it is releasing with accessibility features.

Movies

It is set to release with closed captions and audio descriptions making it easy for people with hearing and visual disabilities.

Audio description is the narration of the visual elements in a video, such as gestures, facial expressions, and objects.

These features are common in content available on OTT, but to be included in a theatre release is a first for a Tamil movie.

Vettaiyan also features Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, and Ritika Singh. The film was shot across several locations in South India and Mumbai.
