Soon after Vaathi / Sir touched the ₹Rs 75-crore mark, director Venky Atluri addressed a “Thanksgiving” meet organised in Chennai.
A visibly excited Venky said, “I need to thank (Naga) Vamsi for believing in the subject and in me. I also wish to thank Dhanush for his rock-solid support.”
He also thanked the technicians and crew. “Many technicians worked behind the screen and I would like to thank them all.”
Venky Atluri even called music programmer Joson, Saravana and Udhayakumar from the sound mixing department, and line producer Sidhu onto the stage and thanked them.
“This is such a huge success and the first people to stamp this success was the media. I thank everyone. Today, the film grossed ₹75 crores in eight days. What more can I ask for? I thank the audience for their word-of-mouth publicity,” the director added.
