Announced on the grand occasion of the iconic Tamil cinema actor's birthday today, Tuesday, December 12, the team of the upcoming film has also released a special celebration video as a teaser giving fans a big glimpse into the exciting action awaiting them in theatres up ahead in 2024. Scheduled to open in cinemas worldwide next year, Vettaiyan being directed by Jai Bhim fame T. J.

The Vettaiyan title teaser starts off showing Rajinikanth as a police officer reading a book on Indian freedom fighter 'Netaji' Subhas Chandra Bose and walking towards the light, with Anirudh Ravichander setting the wheels in motion with his foot-tapping beats. The glimpse features the classic 'Superstar' Rajini title card on display and the actor then standing in front of several other police officials and the people. The Vettaiyan teaser goes on to show Rajinikanth snapping his fingers and then appearing in full glory while sporting black sunglasses inside the lobby of a building and swinging a wooden stick baton. The video then has Tamil cinema's 'Superstar' putting on his sunglasses with impeccable style and saying, "When the hunt is on, the prey must fall!", after which we see him loading a revolver and firing a shot with the title Vettaiyan finally being revealed.
With Thalaivar 170 announced to be titled Vettaiyan, the expectations, and anticipation for the film are set to get bigger with the passage of each day as it will see 'Superstar' Rajinikanth and the 'Shahenshah' of Indian cinema Amitabh Bachchan reunited once again after their last appearance together in the nationwide blockbuster Hum (1991) in Hindi 33 years ago.
