GV Prakash's latest update on Venky Atluri's bilingual film Vaathi leaves fans of Dhanush elated

It was last year that Tollywood director Venky Atluri announced a project with Dhanush. Billed as a bilingual to be made in both Tamil and Telugu, its title was revealed as Vaathi (Sir in Telugu). Dhanush is reportedly playing a teacher in the film, though a poster of him appearing as a student was unveiled by makers.

GV Prakash, who is composing music for the project, has now come up with an update which has made Dhanush fans excited. He took to his Twitter page to inform that song recording for the movie is underway and that some peppy tunes are coming soon.

GV also posted a picture from the studio featuring Dhanush and Venky seen happily posing in it. GV was the composer for Dhanush's last outing, Maaran (streaming on Disney+ Hotstar), too. We hear that makers are busy with the final leg shooting of the film which is likely to release after September, if everything goes as per the plan.

Samyukta Menon has been roped in to play female lead in the project; there were reports a while ago that she will not be part of the film, but makers quashed it as a rumour. Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya are bankrolling Vaathi under Sithara Entertainments.

Dhanush's next release is Joe Russo-Anthony Russo's Hollywood flick The Gray Man which will drop on Netflix on July 15, apart from theatrical release in selected movie halls. His next Tamil outing is Mithran K Jawahar's Thiruchitrambalam which will hit the screens on August 18.  

His last theatrical release was Mari Selvaraj's Karnan (streaming on Amazon Prime Video) which was released in April 2021. A fantasy project with Arun Matheswaran is the next movie he is likely to join next.
