Dhanush’s upcoming film, ‘Maaran’, directed by Karthick Naren is in the post-production phase. The film was scheduled to release in theatres. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the makers decided to take the OTT route. On January 14, the Maaran team released a motion poster and announced that film will premiere on Disney+Hotstar. An announcement regarding the film’s release date will be out soon.
Dhanush was last seen in director Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re, which released on Disney+Hotstar in December 2021. When his film, Jagame Thandhiram, released on Netflix in 2020, Dhanush expressed his disappointment with makers deciding to release on an OTT platform.
Director Karthick Naren took to Twitter to share the motion poster and wrote, ““The pen is mightier than the sword” Presenting #MaaranMotionPoster. #Maaran coming soon on @DisneyPlusHS (sic).”
Maaran marks the first collaboration of director Karthick Naren and actor Dhanush. Produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, the film’s shooting took place in Chennai and Hyderabad. Maaran seems to be an investigative thriller with the right doses of action and emotion.
Apart from Dhanush and Malavika Mohanan, Maaran will also feature Master Mahendran, Samuthirakani, Smruthi Venkat and Krishnakumar in important roles. While GV Prakash is the music director, lyricists Vivek and Karthick Naren are part of the technical crew.
