Dhanush starrer Vaathi had initially announced its release date for the 2nd of December, and now, the film has officially moved itself to the 17th of February opting for more screens and more gap between the releases of the star. This also enables the film to get a good amount of screens as there will be a month after the Pongal releases, allowing it good time to breathe.

Vaathi is directed by Venky Atluri and is said to be a drama based on schooling and the loopholes/oppurtunities associated with it. The film has music composed by GV Prakash.
