Going by the last release of Jailer, Vettaiyan has underperformed in a major way. Jailer had minted Rs 225.65 crore in its first seven days, and its total run was of Rs 348.55 crore. And it seems unlikely that Vettaiyan would be able to cross even Rs 200 crore, although what Vettaiyan has done in Hindi is very interesting, as it has managed to beat the Hindi numbers of Jailer. After 7 days, Jailer had collected just Rs 1.9 crore, while Vettiayan is currently sitting at Rs 3 crore collection from its Rs 118.95 crore collection.

Despite the major improvement, Rajinikanth’s film is no match to Thalapathy Vijay’s past two films, as they minted nearly 4 times the money in Hindi in the same period. Vijay’s penultimate film The Greatest of All Time had collected Rs 10.7 crore while his film Leo: Bloody Sweet has earned Rs 15.3 crore in the same period.
Rajinikanth will now be seen in Lokesh Kanagraj’s Coolieshooting for which will restart from this week.
