Karthi and Krithi Shetty starrer Vaa Vaathiyaar was initially slated for release on December 12, 2025. However, reportedly, due to financial liabilities, the film was postponed, with a new release date yet to be officially announced. Now, it appears that the movie’s OTT deal may also be cancelled.
Karthi-starrer Vaa Vaathiyaar’s OTT deal to be cancelled?
According to online reports, Vaa Vaathiyaar has an agreement with OTT giant Amazon Prime Video for its post-theatrical streaming rights. However, the deal reportedly hinges on the film’s release in December 2025. If the release is postponed beyond this month, the movie could be left in limbo, with Prime Video potentially backing out of the deal.
As of now, this remains speculation circulating online, with no official confirmation from the makers. Reportedly, the team is eyeing a December 24, 2025 release, coinciding with Christmas Eve.
For those unaware, Vaa Vaathiyaar was originally scheduled to hit theatres on December 12, 2025, but was postponed just a day before its release. Reports suggest that the film’s producer, KE Gnanavel, had borrowed money from a businessman and is now speculated to owe Rs 21.78 crore, including accumulated interest. Due to the unresolved debt, a court in Chennai has reportedly stayed the film’s release.
