Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' Worldwide Pre-Release Theatrical Business Details

Chennai, October 9 - Superstar Rajinikanth made a grand comeback last year with the mega-blockbuster success of Jailer, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The movie made over 600 crores gross worldwide and was one of the highest-grossing Indian titles of the year.

Rajinikanth has now teamed up with Jai Bhim director TJ Gnanavel for an action drama Vettaiyan which is scheduled to hit the big screens on October 10, during Dussehra weekend. The movie carries a decent buzz among the fans and pre-sales are good for the opening day in Tamil Nadu and overseas.



Meanwhile, Vettaiyan has managed to generate good pre-release theatrical business. In the home state, Tamil Nadu, the movie's theatrical business is valued at 73 crore, according to T2BLive. In Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), the business is locked at 17 crores while the rest of India theatrical business is valued at 25 crores.

Apart from the domestic region, the overseas business of Vettaiyan is locked at 45 crores, for the total worldwide business at 160 crores. The movie will need to score 160+ crore share or 300+ crores gross collection globally to break even and emerge as a box office hit.

Produced by Lyca Productions, Vettaiyan's inside reports are positive and if the audience reception matches with it then the break-even target for the film should be a cakewalk.
