Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' Overseas Pre-Sales Crosses $1 Million

Chennai, October 5 - Superstar Rajinikanth returns to the big screen after the blockbuster success of Jailer last year with the upcoming action drama Vettaiyan. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the movie is scheduled to release on October 10, coinciding with Vijayadasami.

Vettaiyan has been carrying decent buzz among the fans and is expected to take a very good start at the box office. Overseas, which has always been a strong market for Rajinikanth, the movie is heading for a good start after looking at the initial pre-sales response.



As per the latest update, the overseas pre-sales of Vettaiyan have crossed $1 million (8.50+ crores) for the opening day, including $700K+ in North America. In Malaysia, it has so far sold over 10K tickets worth $50K+ for the opening day.

The pre-sales of Vettaiyan, however, are not as strong as that of Jailer which took the opening of 40 crores ($4.75 million). With 4 days left for the release, the upcoming film is heading towards the opening in the range of 20-30 crores depending on where the final sales finish.

Produced by Lyca Productions, the film stars Rajinikanth in the titular role, alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, Dushara Vijayan, and Abhirami. It will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, and Kannada, languages.
