Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' shows growth; nears ₹145cr mark
Rajinikanth's latest action drama, Vettaiyan, has witnessed a spike in its box office collection on its third Saturday. The film, which was released on October 10, earned nearly ₹1.15cr on Day 17 (Saturday), a significant jump from Friday (₹80L). The upswing is likely to continue into Sunday (October 27). It's been directed by T. J. Gnanavel.
'Vettaiyan' global earnings reach ₹250cr
Despite the recent surge, Vettaiyan's overall collections have only reached ₹250cr globally, failing to match the massive success of Rajinikanth's last hit, Jailer. The film has grossed ₹143.3cr in India and ₹246cr worldwide so far. This is in stark contrast to Jailer, which reportedly amassed a staggering ₹604.5cr globally.
'Vettaiyan' to stream on OTT platforms from November 7
In a bid to cater to a larger audience, Vettaiyan will reportedly stream in multiple languages from November 7. The film's story centers on fake encounters and has a star-studded cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan. Despite mixed reviews, Rajinikanth and Bachchan's performances have been especially lauded by the audience.
