Rajinikanth plays a cop?

A viral video taken from the sets of Vettaiyan has been circulating all over social media. The clip shows the actor reaching the shooting spot of the film, with scores of fans gathered to get a glimpse of the superstar. Rajinikanth is seen waving at his fans as he wears the cop uniform. He is then escorted by his security personnel inside a building.

Vettaiyan is one of the big-budget, star ensemble films that has been in the making in the Tamil film industry. While the makers have remained tight-lipped about the project, the recent clip has given us the cue that we can see Rajinikanth in a cop avatar soon. The actor last donned the khaki uniform in Jailer in which he played a jail warden and in Darbar in which he essayed the role of Aaditya Arunasalam (Rajinikanth), the commissioner of Mumbai Police.

All about Vettaiyan

Vettaiyan is written and directed by filmmaker TJ Gnanavel of Jai Bhim fame. While Jai Bhim was highly appreciated for its sensitive take on custodial violence, it would be interesting to watch what the director has to offer with the Rajinikanth-starrer.
