Rajinikanth was recently discharged from hospital.
Vettaiyan also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier and Rana Daggubati.
While Rajinikanth fans were thrilled at the commercial success of Vettaiyan at the box office, the actor had a health scare in store for them as he had to be hospitalised for a minor ailment. Around 10 days before the release of the film, Rajinikanth underwent a non-invasive heart procedure on October 3 and fans have been worried about him ever since.
However, the actor has now reassured his fans of his recuperating health through a public appearance to celebrate the success of Vettaiyan. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, Vettaiyan has been a hit since its release on October 10. In just four days, the film grossed over Rs 240 crore worldwide, becoming a box-office sensation. Despite a dip in collections on October 14, the film’s impressive opening week prompted a celebratory gathering with Rajinikanth, director Gnanavel, music composer Anirudh Ravichander, and the producers.
This was the superstar’s first public appearance since his discharge from the hospital. Rajinikanth’s fans, affectionately known as Thalaivar devotees, were overjoyed to see him in good health, flooding social media with messages of relief and happiness. His quick recovery and return to the public spotlight have reaffirmed his deep bond with his fans.
Vettaiyan is an action film with Rajinikanth playing the role of an encounter specialist cop. Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier and Rana Daggubati also appear in the movie. The technical crew of Vettaiyan played a key role in the film’s strong production values. Composer Anirudh Ravichander delivered a powerful soundtrack that added to the film’s intensity, while editor Philomin Raj’s sharp editing ensured a smooth narrative flow. Cinematographer SR Kathir’s striking visuals elevated the action sequences, contributing to the film’s overall cinematic appeal.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, Vettaiyan made an undeniable impact at the box office. Its remarkable performance during the opening weekend cemented its position as a commercial hit. The film’s star power, high-octane action, and solid production values helped it overcome initial criticism.
