Annaatthe,
the
Rajinikanth
starring
mass
entertainer
hit
the
theatres
for
Deepavali,
this
year.
Despite
receiving
mixed
to
negative
reviews
from
the
viewers,
Annaatthe
has
performed
exceptionally
well
at
the
box
office
and
has
earned
blockbuster
status.
Interestingly,
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
has
now
achieved
a
major
feat
at
the
box
office.
According
to
the
latest
reports
from
the
trade
experts,
Annaatthe
has
earned
a
whopping
gross
collection
of
Rs.
225
Crore
at
the
worldwide
box
office,
just
within
the
first
12
days
of
its
release.
If
things
follow
at
the
same
rate,
the
Siva
directorial
will
cross
the
250-Crore
mark
at
the
box
office
in
another
couple
of
days.
Annaatthe,
which
is
bankrolled
by
Sun
Pictures,
hit
the
theatres
on
November
4,
2021,
after
multiple
delays.
The
project,
which
was
originally
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
in
2020,
was
postponed
multiple
times
due
to
the
novel
coronavirus
pandemic
and
leading
man
Rajinikanth's
health
issues.
It
was
even
rumoured
that
Annaatthe
got
shelved
due
to
the
pandemic.
But
later,
it
was
later
revealed
to
be
false.
The
mass
entertainer,
that
marked
Rajinikanth's
first
collaboration
with
director
Siva,
features
the
superstar
in
the
titular
character.
The
movie
revolves
around
Kalaiyan
aka
Annaatthe
and
his
little
sister
Thanga
Meenatchi.
Keerthy
Suresh
has
appeared
as
Annaatthe's
sister
in
the
movie,
while
Nayanthara
appeared
as
his
lady
love.
The
Rajinikanth
starrer
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Prakash
Raj,
Jagapathi
Babu,
Meena,
Khushboo,
Soori,
and
others
