Talking about acting, Rajinikanth has completed the shooting of his upcoming film ‘Vettaiyaan’, which is directed by TJ Gnanavel. ‘Vettaiyaan’ also stars Amitabh Bachchan.
Rajinikanth’s 170th film ‘Vettaiyaan’ is set to release worldwide in October this year. Earlier this month, Rajinikanth and Amitabh were spotted shooting some scenes together in Mumbai. Amitabh shared a picture on his Instagram handle in which he and Rajinikanth are seen together. In the picture, Amitabh and Rajinikanth are seen hugging and having a fun conversation.
Sharing the post, he wrote, “I feel honoured and privileged to be with Thala The Great Rajini once again .. he hasn’t changed at all .. the same simple, humble and down to earth friend despite his greatness!!!” Earlier, the production company had released the title teaser of the film on Rajinikanth’s 73rd birthday.
The film stars Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier and Dushara Vijayan. Anirudh Ravichander is the music composer of the film. Rajinikanth was spotted shooting for the film in various locations like Trivandrum, Tirunelveli and Tuticorin.
Rajinikanth was last seen in his daughter Aishwarya’s film ‘Lal Salaam’. This Tamil language sports drama tackles themes of caste oppression and religious discrimination and has received mixed reviews. Lal Salaam stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in the lead roles, while Rajinikanth appears in an extended cameo as Moideen Bhai.
