Vettaiyan Trailer: Rajinikanth is back in his highly awaited crime action-thriller Vettaiyan. He reunites with his Andha Kanoon co-star Amitabh Bachchan, directed by TJ Gnanavel. The trailer, released on Wednesday, puts the spotlight on an epic clash between the two stars. It opens with the police investigating the murder and rape of a woman. It cuts to huge crowd protesting for the arrest of the perpetrator. A woman’s voiceover says, “In this country, women have no safety; but scoundrels do." Rajinikanth’s character is chosen to face a brutal criminal who targets women. The trailer also introduces the star-studded cast, including Amitabh Bachchan and Manju Warrier, giving hints about their characters.
After the police struggle to gather enough evidence to catch the suspect, they decide to plan an encounter. Rajinikanth steps in as the cop known for his skills in these situations. He says, “It’s not wrong for the police to take the law into their own hands when injustice occurs," defending the idea of extrajudicial actions.
Amitabh Bachchan’s character says, “Justice delayed is justice denied; justice hurried is justice buried," as he disagrees with encounter killings. Rana seems to play a wealthy businessman, while Fahadh takes on the role of a thief.
