The songs from Vaathi have already been topping the charts and fans of Dhanush are eager to watch their favourite star on the big screen after a few months' hiatus. The film was earlier supposed to hit the screens in December, but they postponed their plans owing to reasons best known to them.

Vaathi will be released in theatres on February 17. Seven Screen Studio, which recently presented Vijay-starrer Varisu, has bagged the theatrical rights of the Dhanush-starrer in Tamil Nadu. The production house is currently busy with the shooting of Vijay-starrer Leo in Kashmir.
