The Rajinikanth-starrer Tamil film Vettaiyan is all set to hit theatres on October 10. Directed by TJ Gnanavel in his first collaboration with the actor, it is produced by Lyca Productions. As we wait for the film, here are five reasons why Vettiayan should be on your weekend watchlist.

A Rajinikanth fanfare

It is no surprise that a Rajinikanth film provided ample celebrations for a movie-goer in cinemas. Likewise, Vettaiyan is also going to be a fanfare, given the charisma and aura Rajinikanth enjoys in Tamil Nadu. Vettaiyan marks the first time Rajinikanth is working with TJ Gnanavel.

TJ Gnanavel’s impactful voice

TJ Gnanavel, who has made the critically acclaimed film Jai Bhim, is a voice to look out for. Gnanavel extensively talked about extra judiciary killings in the Suriya-starrer film. Now, with Vettaiyan also talking about the same issue, and Rajinikanth playing an encounter specialist, it will be interesting to watch how the director has handled the topic in Vettaiyan.

Star-studded cast

Vettaiyan not only features Rajinikanth but also a host of known faces across the industries. Actors Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Kishore, Ritika Singh, Dushara Vijayan, GM Sundar, Abirami, Rohini, Rao Ramesh, Ramesh Thilak, Rakshan, and others in important roles, in the film.

Anirudh Ravichander’s foot-tapping music

The Manasilaayo single from Vettaiyan has already won the hearts of many. The music scored by Anirudh Ravichander has already leveled up the expectations for the film further. While it is a given fact that Anirudh himself is a fan of Rajinikanth, and Hunter Vantaar's song from the film has charmed many fans of the actor, it is sure to give the audience an enjoyable moment at theatres.

Thrilling cop-drama

Rajinikanth plays a cop, who is known for his encounters and is ranked as one of the top police officers. On the other hand, Amitabh Bachchan plays a man who is against extrajudicial killings. With a powerful face-off between two powerhouses of talent, Vettaiyan promises to be a thriller cop drama.
