The film boasts an ensemble cast, including industry stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, Ritika Singh, and Rana Daggubati. Produced by Lyca Productions, Vettaiyan showcases a blend of South Indian and Bollywood talent, with Gnanavel’s direction aiming to strike a balance between action sequences and thought-provoking social commentary.

Despite a production budget estimated at around ₹300 crore, Vettaiyan has managed to amass an impressive ₹250 crore at the box office. While the film has yet to completely recover its production costs through theatrical earnings alone, the upcoming OTT release is expected to further enhance its viewership and popularity among audiences.

As Vettaiyan gears up for its digital release, fans eagerly anticipate the opportunity to stream the film on Amazon Prime Video from November 7, marking a significant moment for Tamil cinema enthusiasts.
