By: Tupaki Desk | 10 Dec 2025 10:18 AM ISTKarthi’s awaited action entertainer laced with fun, Vaa Vaathiyaar is releasing worldwide on December 12th. Titled Annagaru Vostaru in Telugu, the film’s trailer impressed everyone and introduces Karthi in a colourful, high-energy role. His father believes he is the reincarnation of the legendary Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao garu.
Today makers held a grand pre release event in Hyderabad. The blockbuster directors, Vivek Athreya, Venky Kudumula, Deva Katta, Shiva Nirvana, Rahul Ravindran, Sailesh Kolanu, Bobby, Hero Sundeep Kishan, Producers Madhura Sreedhar Reddy and Bunny Vas graced the event and shared their best wishes.
During his speech, Karthi expressed his gratitude for the Telugu audience for always celebrating good cinema and supporting him. He said "I must bring only new and fresh films to you. When Satyam Sundaram released, Telugu audiences and the media celebrated it, and now we are bringing another unique film. I feel lucky that such films come to me."
Talking about Annagaru Vostaru, he said "We love our heroes, and sometimes that admiration turns into devotion. That is the film’s concept. As Krithi said, the director has made this film as a tribute to the 70s–80s mass commercial cinema. This story needed a superhero-like hero. Why should superheroes be only Batman or Superman? In our culture, we already had NTR and MGR - people who changed cinema, politics, and society. We accept anything our heroes do on screen. They are our demigods. When they do something beneficial to society within a commercial film, it feels special. NTR and MGR rose from humble beginnings to become legends - they are our superheroes. This film imagines what it would be like if such heroes emerged again."
He added, "This is Nalan Kumarasamy’s film after eight years, and I see how much Telugu directors admire him. The story happens in a fictional world. It was a privilege to play such a grand role. It’s a challenging film, and doing such challenging projects takes us to the next level. I believe I acted well. I’m sure you’ll love the film. It’s very hard to make such a movie again."
The project is produced by Studio Green, a banner known for mounting major commercial ventures with strong technical backing. Vaa Vaathiyaar features Krithi Shetty as the female lead, alongside Sathyaraj, Rajkiran, GM Sundar and an ensemble cast that contributes to the film’s gritty tone.
