Rajinikanth & Amitabh Bachchan’s Vettaiyan to Stream on Amazon Prime After Diwali

The highly anticipated thriller Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan, has been making waves since its theatrical release on October 10, 2024. Following a successful box office run, fans can look forward to its OTT debut on Amazon Prime Video on November 7, 2024, right after Diwali. The digital release, reportedly acquired for a remarkable Rs 90 crore, is set to go live at midnight IST, perfectly timed for the festive season.

Directed by T.J. Gnanavel, Vettaiyan presents Rajinikanth as Athiyan, an encounter specialist cop, while Amitabh Bachchan makes his Tamil debut as Justice Dr. Sathyadev Bramhadutt Pande from the National Human Rights Commission. The plot unfolds after a government teacher reports a drug trade, setting off an investigation that dives into the gritty underbelly of the crime world. The storyline showcases a gripping moral conflict, with Rajinikanth’s character navigating his morally ambiguous role alongside Amitabh’s justice-driven character, revealing a striking contrast in their pursuit of truth.

The film’s mixed reception centers on its storyline and pacing, though many viewers have praised the dynamic performances of the lead actors and the layered narrative. With Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, and Manju Warrier also playing pivotal roles, Vettaiyan continues to captivate audiences, grossing over Rs 141.5 crore in India within 15 days.
