Rajinikanth starrer Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanavel, is set to release in a few hours. However, the Telugu audience has expressed frustration over the title of the Telugu version, Vettaiyan The Hunter, feeling that the makers were taking them for granted. Although the makers tried to change the title to Vetagadu, they were unable to get the rights. As this is a PAN Indian film, the team had no choice but to use the same title for all dubbed versions, leading to backlash from movie buffs. Finally, the production company, Lyca, issued a statement clarifying their respect towards the Telugu language and industry.
