Megastar Rajinikanth is gearing up for his upcoming film ‘Vettaiyan’ and recently headed to Hyderabad for its shooting. In videos captured by paparazzi, Rajinikanth was seen making his way towards the airport entrance.

Speaking to the media, Rajinikanth revealed, “75 per cent of the shoot is over. As of now, the next movie is not finalised.” Directed by TJ Gnanavel, ‘Vettaiyan’ also stars legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, actors Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh. The film is scheduled for release in the latter part of 2024.

Rajinikanth’s last appearance was in his daughter Aishwarya’s film ‘Lal Salaam’. The Tamil-language sports drama addresses themes of caste oppression and religious discrimination, receiving mixed reviews. Rajinikanth plays an extended cameo as Moideen Bhai, while Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth star in the lead roles.
