A pirated version of Rajinikanth's latest blockbuster 'Vettaiyan' has surfaced online, just hours after its theatrical release.

The film performed well in theaters, earning more than Rs 60 crores on its first day. The piracy incident has caused concern among producers, who have taken legal action to curb the spread of fake copies.

It is not uncommon for successful films to be leaked online shortly after their release, and 'Vettaiyan' has unfortunately become the latest target. Producers have expressed frustration over the ongoing issue of piracy, despite their efforts to prevent it. In many cases, legal actions have been pursued, but the circulation of fake versions of popular films remains a serious concern.

'Vettaiyan', which released on Thursday, was directed by T.J. Gnanavel and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under the banner of Lyca Productions. The film is being distributed in Kerala by Sri Gokulam Movies.
