Dhanush's Maaran is set to have its direct digital premiere on March 11 and the film will be out on the Disney Hotstar platform. Maaran will be Dhanush's third direct OTT film after Jagame Thandhiram and Atrangi Re and the fans are eagerly looking forward to witnessing the movie. Produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, Maaran is helmed by the young and promising Karthick Naren. With music composed by GV Prakash Kumar, Maaran has Master fame Malavika Mohanan playing the female lead. Samuthirakani plays the antagonist in the movie which has KK, Smruthi Venkat, Master Mahendran in pivotal roles.

The trailer of Maaran was unveiled recently and it opened to a mixed reception from the viewers. While the film had a stylish outlook and appreciable visuals, it looked like a regular commercial action drama that we are used to seeing in all these years. Karthick Naren, being someone who has shown immense promise with his innovative ideas and strong writing, seems to have taken the mass masala route with Maaran that is set to release next week. Ahead of the movie's release, the makers have now released a short promo teaser that carries a few new shots from the movie. This short promo is packed with action, with Dhanush anchoring the proceedings.

This promo focuses on the Dhanush - Samuthirakani face off and let us hope that their clash looks exciting onscreen. After playing Dhanush's father in Velai Illa Pattathaari, Samuthirakani has become his villain in Maaran and it is an interesting changeover to watch out for. We can expect Maaran to be a stylish action flick that will appeal to the mainstream audience. Maaran will have Dhanush playing the role of an investigative journalist who locks horns against a politician, played by Samuthirakani. Maaran will be Dhanush's first release this year.
