Vettaiyan starring Rajinikanth in the lead is gearing up for a worldwide release on October 10, 2024. The film written and directed by TJ Gnanavel has two songs composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Hunter Vantaar, the second single from Vettaiyan had a lyric video release on Saturday, and just like the song, the video pays homage to Rajinikanth's legacy too.

The video also references 1975 - the year Rajinikanth came into the movies with the K. Balachander directed Apoorva Raagangal.
