The Many Shades Of Rajinikanth's Star Studded 'Vettaiyan'
The wait is almost over with the grand release of Superstar Rajinikanth’s cop story Vettaiyan hitting the screens.

Let’s take a look at the factors that interest the audience over the 170th film of Superstar Rajinikanth.

A Star Studded Cast
The visible factor of interest is the star-studded cast packed with excellent actors from Indian cinema, like Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, and Fahadh Faasil. But it’s not a new factor in Thalaivar movies. The megastar had these elements in his previous release as well. Let it be Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Enthiran, Nana Patekar in Kaala, or Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Petta.
The Story
The film has a crucial element for the star-studded cast. Each actor, be it Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, or Fahadh Faasil, is expected to play a crucial role in Vettaiyan, along with Rajinikanth. Interestingly, the characters seem to carry exactly opposite ideologies, which erupts a huge contradiction among them, adding to the excitement to the story.
On this note, Rajinikanth portrays a character of an encounter specialist, whereas Amitabh Bachchan appears as a judge with a powerful philosophy: “Justice delayed is justice denied; justice hurried is justice buried.”

Then there is Rana Daggubati, who appears as a business tycoon, and Fahadh, who takes on the role of a thief. The handpicked casting suggests that the overall narrative would be above the ‘Rajinikanth factor,’ making Vettaiyan an interesting watch.
The Director’s Film
The other interesting factor is that it’s director TJ Gnanavel’s film. As a filmmaker, the Jai Bhim creator has already imprinted his craft as the one that addresses the complex shades of justice while exploring the concepts of police brutality, caste injustice, and custodial death/torture in his previous film. And it is even more interesting as the trailer offers different concepts surrounding it while questioning what ‘justice’ truly means.
