Karthi's upcoming film Vaa Vaathiyaar / Annagaru Vostaru has been postponed to January 4, 2026, due to financial hurdles and legal issues. The film was initially scheduled to release on December 12, but was pushed back at the last minute. The team had explored Christmas as a release option, but it seems the hurdles are still not clear.
This has led to concerns that Amazon Prime Video, which has acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights, may back out of the deal if the film doesn't release soon. The film's producer, Gnanavel Raja, is facing financial disputes, and the Madras High Court has issued a stay on the film's release until the loans are paid.
Rumors suggest that Amazon Prime Video is reconsidering its OTT deal with Vaa Vaathiyaar due to the delayed release. The streaming platform is reportedly unhappy with the situation and may cancel the deal if the film doesn't hit theaters soon.
Vaa Vaathiyaar is an action-comedy film directed by Nalan Kumarasamy starring Karthi and Krithi Shetty, with music by Santhosh Narayanan.
