This film marks a historic reunion of two cinematic legends—Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan—who last shared the screen in the 1991 classic Hum, making their return together after 33 years. Ahead of the release, Lyca Productions generated excitement by unveiling an intense poster featuring both stars, showcasing Rajinikanth in a striking police uniform and Amitabh Bachchan in a sleek suit. The serious expressions of the actors captured the attention of fans eagerly anticipating their on-screen chemistry.
Amitabh Bachchan also took to Instagram to share a heartfelt moment with Rajinikanth, expressing his admiration for the South superstar. “It’s an honour to work alongside the revered Thala Rajinikanth once more,” he wrote, accompanied by a photo of the two embracing.

Vettaiyan features an engaging storyline, with Rajinikanth playing a retired police officer known for his confrontations with criminals as he fights against a corrupt system. Amitabh Bachchan portrays Justice Dr. Sathyadev Bramhadutt Pande, a character from the National Human Rights Commission of India.
