Vettaiyan will clash at the box office with Suriya's Kanguva. The Siva directorial also features Disha Patani and Bobby Deol in key roles.

Although there was no official announcement regarding Vettaiyan's release prior to this post, Rajinikanth had hinted at the big date during his visit to the Himalayas in June. In a conversation with one of the yogis, the legend revealed, “Vettaiyan will release for Dussehra. I have completed my portions. The shooting with other members of the cast is still ongoing. The film will be released on October 10.”

Before that, Rajinikanth wrapped up his portions for Vettaiyan. To mark the occasion, Lyca Productions shared an update on X (formerly Twitter). They posted a picture from the star's last day on set, showing the entire Vettaiyan team posing with Rajinikanth. The caption read, "And it is a wrap for our Thalaivar! Superstar Rajinikanth completes filming his portion for Vettaiyan.”
