Anirudh Ravichander on Vettaiyan: ‘It would be a completely different addition to Rajinikanth’s filmography’

In a recent interview, Anirudh Ravichander, who is collaborating with Rajinikanth for the fourth time after Petta, Darbar and Jailer, shared that Vettaiyan would be a different experience altogether.

When journalist-turned-filmmaker TJ Gnanavel announced that his next film after the hard-hitting Jai Bhim would be headlined by Rajinikanth, it came as a pleasant surprise. However, it was also a shock considering the contrasting sensibilities of a Gnanavel film when compared with Rajinikanth’s brand of movies. It was tough to imagine the worlds of Jai Bhim and Jailer coalescing into a coherent mixture. However, the first single from the film, titled “Manasillaayo” gave us a glimpse into what is in store even if the world is still treating the movie with a sense of trepidation. In an interview to Rednool, composer Anirudh Ravichander, who seems to operate on a different level altogether when he is composing for his uncle and ‘Thalaivar’ Rajinikanth, opened up about his thoughts about this collaboration between Gnanavel and the Superstar.

“Jai Bhim is a film that I really liked. When Gnanavel sir came and told the story, I knew that Superstar Rajinikanth being part of such a film would be really fresh feel,” said Anirudh, who feels Vettaiyan is a film that is in tune with the sensibilities of today’s audience. “All of us are now liking films that are strong in content, right? I believe Vettaiyan will create a huge impact as a film.”

Anirudh, who has delivered blockbuster albums for Rajinikanth through films like Petta, Darbar, and Jailer, reveals that Vettaiyan is definitely a different film in their career. “Of course, the scale and reach of Vettaiyan has increased multifold with the presence of Superstar. I also believe that it would be a completely different addition to his filmography. The story of Vettaiyan is strong, and today, audiences are liking such films. I hope this is the case with Vettaiyan too.”
