Vettaiyan Box Office Day 15: Rajinikanth Starrer Faces Tough Climb To Rs 150 Crore With Stagnant Collections

Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan struggles at the box office as the Rs 150 crore mark remains elusive. The film's OTT release is anticipated on November 7.

Hyderabad: Vettaiyan, the thrilling investigation drama featuring megastars Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan, continues its run with steady numbers at the box office, reaching a total of Rs 141.50 crore in India by its 15th day. However, the film has underperformed at the box office failing to breach the Rs 150 crore milestone given the star power of Rajinikanth and Amitabh. Directed by TJ Gnanavel and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under Lyca Productions, Vettaiyan has become one of Kollywood's top-grossing films, drawing large crowds from Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada.
