Vande Bharat Express: ఎద్దును ఢీకొట్టిన వందే భారత్.. రైలుకు మళ్లీ డ్యామేజ్

Just two weeks after its theatrical release on January 14, Vaa Vaathiyaar—released in Telugu as Annagaru Vostaru—is all set for its digital premiere. The film will begin streaming on Prime Video from January 28, making it available to audiences across India and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide. The action-comedy will stream in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Headlined by Karthi and Krithi Shetty, Vaa Vaathiyaar is a Tamil action-comedy inspired by the legacy of legendary actor and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. G. Ramachandran (MGR). The film features a strong supporting cast that includes Sathyaraj, Raj Kiran, Anandraj, Shilpa Manjunath, Karunakaran, G. M. Sundar, Ramesh Thilak, Nivas Adithan, Vadivukkarasi, Nizhalgal Ravi, and Thenappan P. L.

The story revolves around a die-hard MGR fan who raises his grandson Ramu (played by Karthi), firmly believing that the boy shares a special bond with the iconic star. As Ramu grows up to become a cheerful and fearless police officer, a series of unexpected events put his grandfather’s life at risk, forcing Ramu to shoulder greater responsibilities and undergo a deeply personal emotional transformation.

Directed by Nalan Kumarasamy, the film marks his return to direction after nearly a decade. His previous outing was the 2016 romantic comedy Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum, while his directorial debut was the cult black comedy Soodhu Kavvum in 2013.

Made on a reported budget of around ₹40 crore, Vaa Vaathiyaar failed to gain traction at the box office, collecting only about ₹10 crore worldwide during its theatrical run. The film’s early arrival on OTT reflects its underwhelming theatrical performance.

Backed by energetic music composed by Santhosh Narayanan, the film blends adventure and comedy with a family-friendly appeal. Produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja under the Studio Green banner, Vaa Vaathiyaar now hopes to reach a wider audience through its digital release.
