Earlier, the makers of Suriya’s ‘Kanguva’ announced that the film would hit theaters on October 10. Producer KE Gnanavel Raja mentioned that they chose this date after believing that ‘Vettaiyan’ would be postponed.

However, the makers of ‘Vettaiyan’ have also confirmed October 10 as their release date. This announcement has sparked excitement among fans, as two major Kollywood films are now set to clash. The first half of 2024 was relatively slow, with fewer releases and no major star-studded films. Now, the impending showdown between a Superstar film and a Suriya film has added a new level of anticipation among Kollywood fans. Whether ‘Kanguva’ will be postponed remains to be seen.
‘Vettaiyan’ will showcase Rajinikanth in the role of a police officer. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the film stars Rajinikanth alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan in key roles. Produced by Lyca Productions, the film features a soundtrack by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography by SR Kathir, and editing by Philomin Raj.
