Despite a star-studded cast, Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan struggled with an opening of Rs 207 crore worldwide. Lyca Productions has approached Rajinikanth for another film at a reduced fee. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the film’s lackluster performance has prompted talks about a prequel. Fans were excited to see the Rajinikanth-Amitabh Bachchan reunion, but box-office success was elusive.
