Shoot halted
Trade analyst Ramesh Bala shared on his X account that when Rajinikanth heard the news of his friend’s death, he halted shoot to rush back to Chennai. He wrote, “#SuperstarRajinikanth canceled his movie #Vettaiyan shoot in Nagerkovil and is rushing back to Chennai to pay his homage to Captain #Vijayakanth.” Fans of the actor lauded him for the gesture under the post, writing, “Great gesture by Rajini.” Another fan wrote, “Its his dear friend, as a Thalaivar fan I would be disppointed if he didn't.”
The leaked picture
While the makers are yet to respond, the picture sees Rajinikanth and Fahadh shooting outside a house. Rajinikanth can be seen interacting with a team member and Fahadh can be seen preparing for the scene. Other crew members can be seen crowding near them, with two of them holding umbrellas to shield the actors from the sun. “Most probably a montage, wholesome,” speculated a fan about the scene, while another X user wrote, “Thalaivar and FaFa in same frame!! (heart emoji).”

{{/usCountry}}About Vettaiyan
Shooting for Vettaiyan has been in progress for the last few months. Rajinikanth was previously spotted shooting for the film in Trivandrum, Tirunelveli and Tuticorin. Post Tuticorin, the makers moved the shoot to Nagercoil. Expectations are high on Vettaiyan because Gnanavel’s last film Jai Bhim with Suriya was a massive hit. Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh and Dushara Vijayan also star in the film.
