Superstar Rajinikanth's latest film "Vettaiyan", directed by TJ Gnanavel, has taken the box office by storm since its release last Thursday. The cop-action thriller has been receiving rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Early reports indicated that the film had crossed the ₹200 crore mark in just four days, and now, Lyca Productions has officially confirmed the numbers.

According to the official announcement, "Vettaiyan" has collected an impressive ₹240 crores worldwide by the end of its opening weekend, further solidifying Rajinikanth's unbeatable star power. The film is well on its way to becoming one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of the year, competing closely with Thalapathy Vijay's "GOAT".

However, there is a potential challenge on the horizon. With heavy rain warnings across Tamil Nadu, there are concerns that this could impact box office performance in the state. Despite this, "Vettaiyan" continues to perform strongly in other regions such as Kerala and Karnataka, where it is maintaining its momentum. Insiders are eagerly watching to see if the film becomes one of the biggest hits of the year.
