Directed by TJ Gnanavel, 'Vettaiyan' begins with Athiyan receiving a complaint from a middle-school teacher, about drug abuse among students linked to marijuana stored in classrooms.

The film stars Rajinikanth as Athiyan, a senior police officer known for his aggressive methods of delivering justice, often through encounter killings and Amitabh Bachchan's character Justice Sathyadev who is a human rights advocate who opposes Athiyan's methods.

The film also features a talented cast that includes Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh in key roles.

Despite the star power and intriguing plot, 'Vettaiyan' has faced challenges at the box office, leading to speculation about its overall success.
