  • Director: TJ Gnanavel
  • Release date: October 10, 2024

The first upcoming Tamil film featuring Rajinikanth, titled “Vettaiyan,” kicks off our list. In this movie, the superstar plays an IPS officer and delivers thrilling action scenes. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the producers of Vettaiyan have just revealed a sneak peek that highlights Rajinikanth as a skilled encounter specialist. The film’s plot revolves around the complex theme of human rights, placing this idea at its core.

In addition to Rajinikanth, this film brings together Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Rithika Singh, Dushara Vijayan, Abhirami, and others in significant roles. Notably, “Vettaiyan” is the first collaboration of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan in 33 years. It’s also worth noting that this project marks Amitabh Bachchan’s debut in Tamil cinema. To make this possible, AI technology has been utilized to depict him speaking Tamil fluently within the film. “Vettaiyan” is scheduled for release in cinemas on October 10, 2024.

2. Kanguva

  • Cast: Suriya, Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, Aarash Shah, Redin Kingsley, Yogi Babu, Natarajan Subramaniam

However, the creators decided against competing with Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan at the box office and instead opted to debut solo on November 14, 2024. According to various news sources, the plot of Kanguva spans over 500 years, from the 1700s to 2023, delving into the tale of a Hero who must complete a mission that was previously incomplete.

In simpler terms, it seems that the actor from Kaakha Kaakha has significantly changed his body shape to fit the intimidating character he’s portraying in the upcoming movie. Additionally, rumors indicate that Suriya will display a total of three distinct appearances across the entire film.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming movie I’m eagerly anticipating is being brought to life by Grass Root Film Company and RS Infotainment, under the visionary direction of Vetrimaaran. In terms of its captivating narrative, “Viduthalai Part 2” will seamlessly pick up where the original film left off, having been released in 2023.

It’s said that the sequel will provide a more detailed exploration of Vijay Sethupathi’s character, Perumal Vaathiyaar, revealing how he rose to become a leading rebel figure. Furthermore, it’s expected that a large portion of the film will be set in the 1960s, focusing particularly on the interactions between Super Deluxe actor Vijay Sethupathi and Manju Warrier, who portrays his wife.
