Directed by TJ Gnanavel of Jai Bhim fame, the film is seeing solid box office success and has reportedly grossed around Rs. 250 crore since its release.

When and where to watch Vettaiyan
If confirmed, Vettaiyan will be available on Amazon Prime Video from November 7. The expected date is in line with industry patterns, with Tamil-language films often shifting to digital platforms within a month of their theatrical release. This OTT release date would also allow the film to reach new audiences just after Diwali, which is a prime streaming period for Tamil film lovers.
Plot of Vettaiyan
Vettaiyan revolves around Athiyan, played by Rajinikanth, who struggles with moral questions related to law enforcement and justice. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, known for his socially relevant stories, the film explores themes of police encounters and questions the line between duty and willfulness. Gnanavel recently discussed the possibility of a prequel to the story, focusing on Athiyan’s backstory to provide more insight into the character’s choices and motivations.
Cast and crew
The film features an ensemble cast including Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, Ritika Singh and Rana Daggubati. Produced by Lyca Productions, Vettaiyan brings together a mix of South and Bollywood talent, with Gnanavel’s direction aiming to balance action with social commentary.
Reception cash register
Despite a production budget reportedly around ₹300 crore, Vettaiyan is yet to fully recoup its costs through box office revenue. However, the box office gross of ₹250 crore is a strong showing, and the film’s OTT release is expected to further boost its viewership.
