The Bombay High Court has questioned the cops on why Parth Pawar, son of Ajit Pawar, was excluded from the FIR in the Pune land deal case.
Vaa Vaathiyaar, starring Karthi in the lead role, was all set to release in theatres on December 12, 2025. However, it appears that just a day before the film was to hit the big screens, the makers decided to postpone it.
Is Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar postponed?
According to a report by Lets Cinema, Vaa Vaathiyaar has indeed been postponed by the makers. A court order has reportedly been issued due to an unresolved debt under the name of KE Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green.
As per another report, the court’s decision is based on an outstanding debt of Rs. 10.35 crore, which, with accumulated interest, has increased to Rs. 21.78 crore. This amount was allegedly borrowed by Gnanavel from a businessman.
Due to the unresolved debt, the court has stayed the film’s release, and a new release date is yet to be announced.
While the makers have not provided an official update, the production house’s social media handle recently shared a promo without mentioning a release date. The new promo simply states that the film will be “releasing soon.”
