Venky Atluri, the director who earlier made successful films like Rang De with Nithiin and Keerthy Suresh, Mr Majnu with Akhil Akkineni and Niddhi Agerwal, debuted as a director with Tholi Prema starring Varun Tej and Raashi Khanna.

Before Dhanush came on board and the makers of the film decided to produce Vaathi as a bilingual, Venky Atluri had pitched the same story and script to none other than our Natural star Nani. Nani, who is known to encourage new talent of directors and technicians through his films and production house somehow missed out on this successful film due to reasons unknown. After the news of Nani rejecting Vaathi/Sir came out, fans of the actor are upset about the same. Nani has been trying hard to get a super hit in his career after Shyam Singha Roy also didn't perform as expected. All his recent films like 'Ante Sundaraniki', and 'Tuck Jagadeesh' failed to impress his fans, let alone the regular moviegoers.

Dhanush is now enjoying the success of Vaathi and is looking forward to doing more bilingual and pan-India films. He will soon begin working on director Sekhar Kammula's next in Hyderabad.

Vaathi is a joint production venture of Sithara Entertainment, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios. The movie stars Samyuktha as the female lead and actors like P Sai Kumar, Tanikella Bharani, Samuthirakani, Hyper Aadi, and Aadukalam Naren among others in pivotal roles. GV Prakash Kumar composed the film's soundtrack and music. J Yuvaraj cranked the camera.

Meanwhile, Nani will be next seen in Dasara, an out-and-out action entertainer under the direction of debutant Srikanth Odela. The movie is going to hit the screens on March 30. He will start working on another film with Mrunal Thakur referred to as Nani 30. In addition, he will star in his production house's sequel to Hit: The Second Case.
