Dhanush,
the
National
award-winning
actor
recently
wrapped
up
the
shooting
of
his
highly
anticipated
project,
Maaran.
The
movie,
which
is
touted
to
be
an
action
thriller,
marks
Dhanush's
first
collaboration
with
the
young
filmmaker
Karthick
Naren.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
Maaran
is
now
gearing
up
for
a
direct
OTT
release.
Yes,
you
read
it
right.
According
to
the
sources
close
to
the
project,
the
Dhanush
starrer
might
get
a
direct
OTT
release
on
Disney
Plus
Hotstar,
on
the
occasion
of
Pongal
2022.
However,
the
makers
have
not
confirmed
the
reports
officially,
so
far.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Maaran
will
mark
Dhanush's
second
direct
OTT
release,
after
Jagame
Thandhiram.
Earlier
in
an
interview
given
to
a
leading
online
media,
director
Karthick
Naren
had
stated
that
Maaran
will
get
a
theatre
release.
The
young
filmmaker
had
also
suggested
that
the
Dhanush
starrer
is
exclusively
made
for
the
big
screens.
So,
the
reports
regarding
the
OTT
release
of
the
project
have
left
both
the
Dhanush
fans
and
Tamil
cinema-goers,
equally
shocked.
In
his
interview,
Karthick
Naren
had
also
revealed
that
Dhanush
is
playing
an
investigative
journalist
in
Maaran.
According
to
the
filmmaker,
the
movie
is
a
complete
commercial
thriller,
which
mainly
depicts
the
role
a
journalist
plays
in
society.
At
the
same
time,
the
movie
also
revolves
around
the
deep
bonding
between
a
brother-sister
duo.
The
director
revealed
that
the
Dhanush
starter
is
not
an
out-and-out
genre-based
movie,
that
goes
overboard
with
the
commercial
elements.
Malavika
Mohanan
appears
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Dhanush
in
Maaran.
The
Karthick
Naren
directorial
marks
the
Tamil
debut
of
the
acclaimed
Malayalam
scriptwriter
duo
Sharfu
and
Suhaas,
who
has
scripted
some
popular
films
including
Virus
and
Fahadh
Faasil
starrer
Varathan.
GV
Prakash
Kumar
has
composed
the
music
for
the
project.
Maaran
is
bankrolled
by
the
prestigious
banner
Sathya
Jyothi
Films.
