Meanwhile, an interesting piece of news making waves on social media is that reportedly turned down a role played by Rana Daggubati in Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan. The role described as a corporate villain with limited scope was eventually offered to Rana.

Netizens are reacting in different ways. A fan highlighted Nani's decision, saying, "Nani's judgment is once again spot on as he chose to reject a character that had no importance!"
Another user pointed out how people had previously criticized Nani for turning down such a big film speculating that the role might have taken his career in a different direction. However, they agreed that Nani's decision proved wise in the end, especially given the criticism surrounding the film's characters.
