About Vaa Vaathiyaar Movie
Vaa Vaathiyaar is an upcoming Tamil action comedy film starring Karthi and Krithi Shetty in the lead roles. It was written and directed by Nalan Kumarasamy and produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja under the banner of Studio Green.
The film was officially announced on October 25, 2023, under the tentative title Karthi 26, marking Karthi’s 26th film as a lead actor. The official title, Vaa Vaathiyaar, was revealed in May 2024. Principal photography began on March 27, 2023, with the first schedule taking place in Chennai.
Initially, in mid-July 2020, Vijay Sethupathi was set to star in the project. However, by mid-February 2021, Arya took on the lead role. Filming was expected to start after Arya wrapped up “Enemy” (2021). Meanwhile, Kumarasamy continued working on the script. Although there were earlier reports of a November start, they were dismissed due to a lack of updates until January 2023, when Karthi was announced as the new lead.
The music and background score is composed by Santhosh Narayanan, in his third collaboration with Nalan Kumarasamy after Soodhu Kavvum (2013) and Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum (2016); third with Karthi after Madras (2014) and Kaashmora (2016).
The first look poster of the film was released on May 25, 2024, followed by the teaser on November 13, 2024, which was shared across various social media platforms.
