Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan sees a 102% jump in Day 1 Advance Booking

Every time Rajinikanth returns to the big screen, it’s nothing short of a festival. His last film, Jailer, went on to gross Rs 600 crore globally. Now, with the upcoming Vettaiyan, both fans and the industry hold the same high expectations.The film is slated to release on October 10, and it’s generating significant positive buzz. In the last 24 hours, the film saw a 102% jump in its Day 1 advance booking. On Monday morning, the total ticket sales stood at Rs 3.36 crore, but by Tuesday morning, collections surged to Rs 6.81 crore—a jump of Rs 3.44 crore. Additionally, through block bookings, the film has added another Rs 5.8 crore to its total. As of now, Vettaiyan's Day 1 advance booking collection stands at Rs 12.51 crore. However, with less than 48 hours left until its release, it is unlikely to surpass Jailer's Day 1 collection of Rs 48.5 crore.Vettaiyan will be clashing with Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina's Jigra and Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video from 11th October. For it to mint huge sums of money, it will be important to do well in North India as well, but in Hindi it has just sold 49 tickets. Vettaiyan, directed by T. J. Gnanavel, will mark Rajinikanth’s reunion with Amitabh Bachchan after 32 years, their last collaboration being Mukul S. Anand’s Hum. The film centers around a police officer, played by Rajinikanth, known for his disregard for rules as he faces a surge in lawlessness. It also features Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, and Ritika Singh in pivotal roles.
