In a recent update from the world of cinema, Rajinikanth, who last graced the screen in the film ‘Jailer’, is currently engrossed in the shooting of his upcoming project ‘Vettaiyan’ in the picturesque locale of Pondicherry. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the film promises to be an engaging drama and features an ensemble cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan.
Adding to the anticipation, the film’s music is orchestrated by the talented Anirudh Ravichander, continuing the successful collaboration with the superstar seen in his recent ventures.
Taking advantage of the festive spirit during Pongal and Makar Sankranti, the film’s makers chose this opportune moment to release an exclusive poster of Rajinikanth in his iconic ‘Vettaiyan’ look. The social media announcement conveyed warm Pongal wishes to fans and a glimpse of the veteran actor’s timeless appearance.
The official statement from the makers expressed, “Happy Pongal! Wishes from the VETTAIYAN team! May this festival of harvest add more colourful moments to your life.”
This unveiling follows the revelation of the film’s title and teaser on December 12, coinciding with the celebration of Rajinikanth’s 73rd birthday. Tentatively titled ‘Thalaivar 171’, his next project under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj is already generating excitement among fans, with Anirudh Ravichander once again taking charge of the musical composition.
In addition to ‘Vettaiyan’, Rajinikanth enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the upcoming release of ‘Lal Salaam’, directed by Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, scheduled to hit screens on February 9, adding another dimension to the actor’s diverse cinematic portfolio.
