Director TJ Gnanavel, known for his captivating storytelling, has thrilled audiences once again with 'Vettaiyan', a gripping film starring the iconic Rajinikanth. Released today, the movie also features a stellar cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, marking his debut in Tamil cinema. The film has been produced by Subaskaran's Lyca Productions.

In an interview with ANI, Gnanavel delved into the genesis of the film's narrative. 'I was asked if I had a compelling story to tell,' he recounted. 'I shared a plot that resonated with the audience and the producers. They embraced it, and that's how 'Vettaiyan' came to life.'

The recently released trailer showcases a potent storyline involving a controversial police officer, played by Rajinikanth, confronting the boundaries of justice. Amitabh Bachchan's character, Sathyadev, questions the ethics of encounter killings with his poignant line, 'Justice delayed is justice denied; justice hurried is justice buried.'

Beyond 'Vettaiyan', Gnanavel is poised to embark on a new cinematic journey titled 'Dosa King'. This Pan-Indian project, co-written with Hemanth Rao, explores the tumultuous saga of the Saravana Bhavan empire. With Junglee Pictures acquiring the life rights of Jeevajothi Santhakumar, the film promises an in-depth portrayal of her clash with tycoon P. Rajagopal.

'Dosa King' is set to dramatize the exhilarating rise and subsequent fall of the globally renowned Saravana Bhavan brand. The narrative follows the tenacious Jeevajothi as she challenges the empire's formidable owner, P. Rajagopal. Production is scheduled to commence soon, promising a story rich in ambition and justice.
