It has been buzzed for a while now that Dhanush starrer Vaathi (Sir in Telugu) is getting postponed from its scheduled release date of December 2, 2022. And as if confirming the same, the new posters of the film that were unveiled as Diwali specials came sans the mention of the already announced official release date. 

However the makers were quick to correct this flaw and these Diwali posters were immediately updated with no changes in the release date of Vaathi/Sir. A directorial venture of Tollywood's Venky Atluri, the movie will see Dhanush as a junior lecturer named Balamurugan (Tamil) / Bala Gangadhar Tilak (Telugu), who stands against the institutes indulging in the commercialization of education.

The film is  produced by Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, Srikara Studios and has Samyuktha Menon playing female lead. The technical crew of Vaathi includes GV Prakash for music, J Yuvaraj for cinematography and Navin Nooli for edits.
