Vettaiyan

Vettaiyan, featuring Superstar Rajinikanth, is two weeks away from hitting the big screens. The prevue was unveiled a few days ago at the audio launch event. Though the prevue didn’t provide more details, it gave us an idea on how the film would be. Director TJ Gnanavel has now started promoting the action drama.

In an interview, TJ Gnanavel said, “After Jailer’s massive success, the expectations on Rajini sir have increased a lot. Vettaiyan will have songs and fights as well. But I didn’t deviate from what I wanted to convey. We have seen films about encounter specialists before, but we have never seen their background stories. Vettaiyan throws light on their thinking process.”

TJ Gnanavel added, “Thalaivar Rajinikanth is an encounter specialist in the film. What is his stand on encounters and what happens to him is the film’s plot. I cannot change myself completely for Rajini sir. People usually expect a few elements from him, like style and grace. While staying true to the story, I did my best to match Thalaivar’s image and stardom.”
