As an ardent fan of the silver screen, I can’t help but be awestruck by the camaraderie shared between two titans of Indian cinema – Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan. Their reunion in Vettaiyan is a testament to the timeless charm and charisma they exude on screen.

In simple terms, Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie titled “Vettaiyan” brings him back together with Amitabh Bachchan on set again, a collaboration last seen in the 1991 film “Hum.” During the audio launch of Vettaiyan, Amitabh shared some personal anecdotes about Rajinikanth and disclosed that he used to sleep on the floor without any worry or thought.

At the Vettaiyan audio launch event, Amitabh Bachchan wasn’t personally there, but he conveyed his well-wishes to the entire team via a pre-recorded video that was screened at the gathering. In the video, he reminisced about their time together on set for Hum, saying, “During filming, I would relax in my air-conditioned vehicle, while Rajinikanth took naps on the floor during breaks.

In simpler terms, Big B expressed his admiration for Thalaiva’s humbleness more than anything else by saying, “Seeing him act so modestly, I stepped out of the car and sat outside.

The renowned figure from Bollywood openly expressed his admiration and called Rajinikanth the “greatest star” he has ever encountered. He stated, “Vettaiyan was my first Tamil movie, I feel deeply honored. In my opinion, Rajinikanth is the greatest among all stars.

After sharing his recent revelation, Amitabh Bachchan reminisced about his past collaborations with Rajinikanth, specifically their work together on the 1991 film Hum directed by Mukul S Anand. To clarify for those not familiar, they had portrayed brother roles in a previous production.

For those not familiar, the movie titled “Vettaiyan,” directed by TJ Gnanavel, will premiere in cinemas on October 10, 2024. Notably, this marks the comeback of Rajinikanth in his classic cop role again. Previews and some of the released tunes suggest that this film is shaping up to be an enormous spectacle.

Regarding the star-studded cast of this film, we’ve managed to secure some highly skilled actors from the movie industry for key roles. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth, there are also Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, Rao Ramesh, and Ritika Singh, among others.
