Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie Vettaiyan is heading for a grand release tomorrow in Telugu and Tamil languages. Rajinikanth is ill and he is in recovery mode. Hence, there are minimal promotions for the Telugu version. The advance sales for Vettaiyan across the Telugu states are quite poor and dull. The film’s fate completely depends on the word of mouth which is crucial for the film. Vettaiyan is made on a big-budget and the film has top actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati and others in important roles. Lyca Productions are the producers of Vettaiyan.

Vettaiyan attended the Tamil audio release event of Vettaiyan after which he fell sick and was admitted in hospital. The Tamil pre-release sales are decent and the government granted permission for special shows. Vettaiyan is directed by TJ Gnanavel and he directed Suriya’s Jai Bhim in the past. Vettaiyan is a social drama and Rajinikanth essays the role of a cop. In Telugu, Gopichand’s Viswam, Sudheer Babu’s Ma Nanna Superhero and Suhas’s Janaka Aithe Ganaka are releasing over the Dasara weekend. Bollywood film Alia Bhatt’s Jigra too is releasing in the regional languages of Telugu and Tamil.
