The buzz around Dhanush’s role in Russo Brother’s The Gray Man is far from over, but the Tamil star has already moved on to the promotion of his Tamil-Telugu bilingual, Vaathi. As promised, the first look poster of the film is out, and it features Dhanush engrossed in his study.

Vaathi, touted to be a campus tale, features Dhanush in the role a teacher for the first time in his career. In 2021, Vijay played a similar role in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Master, which struck gold at the box office. Hence, there is a huge expectation among Dhanush fans.

Here’s the first look poster:

Talking about the film and Dhanush, Venky said, “Dhanush will be seen as a lecturer in Vaathi/Sir. The film revolves around the education system and is simultaneously being made in Tamil and Telugu. Dhanush’s unflinching support on the sets is indeed unbelievable. GV Prakash’s music and Yuvraj’s cinematography are among the major highlights of the film.”
