What happens
Annaatthe (transl. Big Brother) is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language masala film directed by Siva and produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures. The film stars Rajinikanth in the titular role, alongside Khushbu, Meena, Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Jagapathi Babu, Soori, Prakash Raj, and Abhimanyu Singh. D. Imman composed the film's music, Vetri handled the cinematography, Dhilip Subbarayan arranged stunts and Ruben edited the film. The movie's plot revolves around Kaalaiyan alias Annaatthe, a sarpanch (decision maker) in Thanjavur, who strives to protect his sister from an evil corporate and his crime boss elder brother in Kolkata. The film was officially announced in October 2019, marking Rajinikanth's first collaboration with Siva. Principal photography began on 11 December 2019 and was completed in September 2021. The COVID-19 lockdown in India and Rajinikanth's health issues in late-December 2020 delayed the film's production. Filming was primarily done in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, and a few sequences were shot in Chennai. Annaatthe was released on 4 November 2021, coinciding with the Deepavali festival. Upon release the film was critically panned. During its theatrical run, Annaatthe grossed an estimated revenue of ₹240 crores worldwide against a budget of ₹180 crores, making it a commercial success. The Embassy of India announced the release of the film in Argentina to promote culture and tourism. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
