Rajinikanth and Fahadh Faasil have been filming for TJ Gnanavel’s Vettaiyan in Nagercoil. A leaked photo of the duo surfaced online, stirring excitement among fans to see them sharing on set together. However, following the unfortunate demise of actor-politician Vijayakanth, Rajinikanth paused the film’s shoot to quickly return to Chennai.
Trade analyst Ramesh Bala shared on his X account that upon hearing the news of Vijayakanth’s passing, Rajinikanth immediately halted the shoot of Vettaiyan in Nagercoil to pay his respects. Fans praised Rajinikanth’s gesture.
The leaked picture depicts Rajinikanth and Fahadh shooting a scene outside a house. Rajinikanth engages with a crew member while Fahadh prepares for the scene. Crew members surround them, two holding umbrellas to shield the actors from the sun.
Filming for Vettaiyan has been underway for several months, spanning locations like Trivandrum, Tirunelveli, and Tuticorin. The production recently shifted to Nagercoil. Expectations are high, considering Gnanavel’s previous hit Jai Bhim with Suriya. The film also boasts a star-studded cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan.
