Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan, Suriya's Kanguva to lock horns on October 10

CHENNAI: The makers of actor Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan unveiled the release date of the film with a poster on Monday. As anticipated, the movie is all set to hit the screens on October 10.

Sharing the release poster on X, the makers wrote, "Target-locked Vettaiyan is set to hunt in cinemas worldwide from October 10th, 2024! Superstar as Supercop! Releasing in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada! #Vettaiyan (sic)."

Bankrolled by Lyca Productions, the poster has Rajinikanth in a stylish avatar, wearing a Khaki uniform and sunglasses. It also features a group of students protesting with placards in the foreshadow.

Billed as an action drama, TJ Gnanavel, of Jai Bhim fame, is helming the film. The ensemble cast includes Fahadh Faasil, Dushara Vijayan, Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, and Abhirami.

The cinematography is done by SR Kathir, and the editing is handled by Philomin Raj. Anirudh Ravichander is composing music for the film, marking his fourth collaboration with Rajinikanth after Darbar, Petta, and Jailer.

The post-production work is in full swing, and the film will be released simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi.

It is also noted that the makers of Suriya's Kanguva have locked in the release date as October 10. This announcement has now triggered fan wars on social media. Apart from that there is also a growing speculation that Kanguva might back out from the race as Vettiayan would end up getting more screens. However, it is likely that both Vettaiyan and Kanguva would go ahead with the original plan.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is currently shooting for Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj while Suriya is shooting for his 44th film directed by Karthik Subbaraj in Idukki.
