Karthi's Vaa Vaathiyaar, released on January 14, 2026, is heading to Amazon Prime Video tomorrow, January 28, in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. Directed by Nalan Kumarasamy, the film failed to impress at the box office, making its OTT debut within two weeks.
The film stars Karthi, Krithi Shetty, Sathyaraj, and Rajkiran, with music by Santhosh Narayanan. Produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja under Studio Green, Vaa Vaathiyaar explores themes of identity and legacy, with Karthi playing a die-hard MGR fan.

Vaa Vaathiyaar is Karthi's 26th film, and Krithi Shetty's Tamil debut. The Telugu version, Annagaru Vostaaru, is also streaming on Amazon Prime Video, making it a surprise digital release skipping theatrical release even Karthi promoted the film personally in Hyderabad before it's last minute postponement in December.
