Vettaiyan FDFS: The highly anticipated Tamil action thriller Vettaiyan is all set for its grand First Day First Show (FDFS) on October 10, 2024, at 4:00 AM IST, worldwide except in Tamil Nadu. Directed by T. J. Gnanavel and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under the Lyca Productions banner, the film has created significant buzz among fans and the film industry alike. Vettaiyan stars the legendary Rajinikanth in the titular role as SP Ajith IPS, marking his 170th film as a lead actor. Adding to the excitement is the Tamil debut of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who portrays the character of Sathyadev, making this film a momentous occasion for Tamil cinema.

Vettaiyan was officially announced in March 2023 under the working title Thalaivar 170, acknowledging Rajinikanth's monumental contribution to cinema. In December 2023, the title Vettaiyan was revealed, and principal photography for the film commenced in October 2023. The shooting spanned several prominent locations, including Thiruvananthapuram, Tirunelveli, Chennai, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. After nearly a year of production, filming concluded in August 2024. With stunning cinematography by S. R. Kathir, crisp editing by Philomin Raj, and a captivating soundtrack by Anirudh Ravichander, the film promises to be a visual and auditory treat.

Vettaiyan Cast

The ensemble cast of Vettaiyan also features Fahadh Faasil as Patrick, Rana Daggubati as Natraj, Manju Warrier as Thara, and Ritika Singh as ASI Roopa. Dushara Vijayan, Abhirami, Rohini, Rao Ramesh, Ramesh Thilak, Kishore, Rakshan, G. M. Sundar, Sabumon Abdusamad, and Supreeth Reddy round out the supporting cast.

In preparation for its release, the official prevue of Vettaiyan was released on September 20, 2024. While the initial response from viewers was mixed-largely due to the dubbing of Amitabh Bachchan's character by Prakash Raj-the filmmakers swiftly took action to address the concerns. By utilizing advanced AI technology, the makers replaced Prakash Raj's voice with Bachchan's own for all language versions of the film, which was received positively by fans. The official trailer, released on October 2, 2024, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti, has further amplified excitement for the film's release.

The film is set to hit theaters worldwide on October 10, 2024, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, and fans across the globe are eagerly awaiting to witness Rajinikanth's superstar persona on the big screen. With early morning FDFS screenings scheduled at 4:00 AM IST (outside Tamil Nadu), expectations are sky-high for what promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience.
