On December 12, superstar Rajinikanth celebrated his 73rd birthday, and on this occasion, the title of his highly anticipated movie, Thalaivar 170, was revealed. The upcoming film is titled Vettaiyan, and to mark the announcement, the makers released a teaser that has ignited excitement among fans. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the film features not only Rajinikanth but also Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan in a prominent role, marking their collaboration after three decades. The star-studded cast includes Rana Daggubati, Fahad Faasil, Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier, and Dushara Vijayan, among others.
The title teaser, shared by Lyca Productions on social media, opens with Rajinikanth reading a book featuring Subhas Chandra Bose. The teaser suggests that Rajinikanth might be portraying the role of a professor, but it also features scenes of him with a lathi and holding a gun, reminiscent of his character in the recently released Jailer
Reports suggest that Rajinikanth will play the role of a retired Muslim police officer in Vettaiyan, as seen in the teaser where he reopens a case to seek justice. The film was shot in various locations, including Thiruvananthapuram, Tirunelveli, and Mumbai, and is set to release in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
Fans were quick to draw comparisons between Vettaiyan and Rajinikanth’s character in the blockbuster film Chandramukhi, where he played the role of Vettaiyan. Some highlighted that the title of the new film is the same as the character’s name from the 2005 film.
Aside from the film’s title, fans also took note of the glasses worn by Rajinikanth in one scene of the teaser. These glasses are available on various shopping applications and websites, with prices ranging from Rs 2000 to Rs 3000.
Following the release of Thalaivar 170, Rajinikanth is set to work on Thalaivar 171 with director Lokesh Kanagaraj, which is scheduled to begin filming next year.
