There are few details about Amitabh Bachchan's character in Vettaiyan, but it’s likely he plays a high-ranking authority figure. In the film, Rajinikanth plays a cop, and the plot is said to explore the negative consequences of police highhandedness.
Manju Warrier shares the screen with Rajinikanth for the first time in this film and has already made an impression on Tamil audiences, especially with her dance performance in the song Manasilaayo. The track, the first to be released from the Vettaiyan soundtrack, quickly became a viral sensation with its catchy beats, Rajinikanth’s signature style, and Manju Warrier’s captivating presence.
Vettaiyan boasts an ensemble cast that includes Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan. The producers have been releasing glimpses of each main character, with Dushara playing a school teacher named Saranya and Ritika Singh portraying a cop named Roopa.
Vettaiyan, written and directed by TJ Gnanavel, is gearing up for a grand release on October 10. The filmmakers have planned a grand audio launch event in Chennai on September 20, where they will also unveil the movie's first trailer.
