Earlier, 'Sir's Tamil title had become topic of online debate
While the buzz regarding Dhanush's Telugu debut is huge, Sir is also releasing in Tamil with the title Vaathi. And, this name had become a topic of online outrage a few days ago. This was because actor Vijay's superhit film Master had the song, Vaathi Raid, in it. Fans of the Thalapathy had been angry as for them, there is only one Vaathi (master).
Telugu debut aside, Dhanush set to have international debut soon
Looking past Twitter debates, the Jagame Thandhiram star is soon going to get his international debut as well. As we know, he is part of the Anthony and Joe Russo film, The Gray Man. While we still don't have a date, the movie is said to hit Netflix in the summer of 2022. The Ryan Gosling-starrer will have Chris Evans as the villain.
