The excitement is palpable, especially for VJ Rakshan, who plays the character Tharan in the movie. In a heartwarming video shared by the film’s creators, Rakshan couldn’t contain his joy as he talked about his role and the opportunity to work alongside the superstar himself.
“My character is truly special and I believe audiences will instantly connect with him,” Rakshan shared with a twinkle in his eye. “He’s someone who truly understands the impact of social media in today’s world. Thanks to Gnanavel’s brilliant writing, this character beautifully showcases the power of social media.”
Rakshan also shared a delightful anecdote about his admiration for Rajinikanth’s dancing skills. In the past, his theater experiences would often be disrupted by fellow movie-goers, but this time, he had the privilege of witnessing the superstar’s dance moves up close and personal. To top it off, Rakshan confessed that he was taken by surprise when he found out he would be dancing in a song on the day of the shoot.
If that wasn’t enough to get you excited, the film’s director, TJ Gnanavel, spilled the beans in an interview with The Hindu. He described Vettaiyan as a perfect blend of his creative vision and Rajinikanth’s unparalleled star power. Gnanavel expressed his admiration for the superstar’s larger-than-life persona, which added an extra layer of magic to the film. According to the director, he could only capture 50% of his vision due to Rajinikanth’s magnetic presence on screen. He also emphasized the importance of big stars like Rajinikanth embracing content-driven cinema for the industry to thrive.
