Vettaiyan, the highly anticipated Tamil film starring Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, and Fahadh Faasil, has surpassed the ₹50 crore mark within two days of its release. Directed by TJ Gnanavel and produced by Lyca Productions, the film opened to a phenomenal ₹30 crore on its first day, marking the second-biggest opening for a Tamil film in 2024.
On its second day, Vettaiyan earned ₹23.8cr, taking its total earnings to ₹55.5 crore. Although trailing behind Thalapathy Vijay's GOAT in terms of opening day earnings, trade reports indicate a surge in box office numbers over the Dussehra holiday weekend. With a production budget of ₹300 crore, Vettaiyan is one of the biggest investments in Tamil cinema.
The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh. The screenplay is co-written by Gnanavel and B Kiruthika, with music by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography by SR Kathir, and editing by Philomin Raj.
As Vettaiyan continues to attract audiences, its performance will be closely watched. With its strong cast and crew, the film is expected to maintain its momentum and potentially become one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of the year.
