Thalapathy Vijay spotted attending the first show of Rajinikanth’s latest film Vettaiyan in Chennai

Thalapathy Vijay joined fellow Tamil cinema stars in watching Rajinikanth’s latest release, Vettaiyan, on its first day. Vijay was spotted at a theatre in Chennai, wearing a mask and cap to avoid attention, but his efforts to stay discreet couldn’t keep fans from noticing him. Vijay is known for his habit of watching major films in local theatres, recently having done the same for Prabhas’ Salaar Part 1 in Hyderabad.

Other prominent figures in Tamil cinema, such as Dhanush, music composer Anirudh Ravichander, and director Karthik Subbaraj, were also present at the screening, showing their support for Rajinikanth’s 170th film. Directed by T.J. Gnanavel (Jai Bhim fame), Vettaiyan is notable for Amitabh Bachchan’s Tamil debut, adding to the anticipation.

While the movie was highly awaited, it has received mixed reviews so far. Criticism has focused on the storyline, with some reviewers feeling that Vettaiyanlacked depth. A review from Desimartini noted that the film didn’t have the dramatic tension or emotional weight expected from a project of its scale, resulting in a 2.5-star rating. Despite this, the movie has generated significant attention due to Rajinikanth’s massive fan base and the star-studded cast.

Vijay’s presence at the screening reflects the camaraderie in the Tamil film industry and his love for experiencing cinematic moments among regular audiences.
