Maamannan premiered on Netflix on July 27 and Mari Selvaraj's latest statement about the response to his latest directorial is testimony of the huge positive feedback after the stunning results at the box office. Still running in theatres, the film is also now Udhayanidhi Stalin's highest-grossing film after the actor-politician revealed the news during the success meet last month. With Udhayanidhi Stalin bidding his farewell as an actor in Tamil cinema with Maamannan, the response to the film from audiences across the globe will no doubt leave him and the entire team mighty happy.
Produced under the Red Giant Movies banner, Maamannan is Mari Selvaraj's third directorial after Pariyerum Perumal (2018) and Karnan (2021), and the filmmaker has once again delivered on all fronts in his latest outing. The film featured strong performances from the entire cast, with Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil garnering immense praise from audiences and critics alike. Academy Award-winning composer A. R. Rahman's music too has been hailed as one of his finest works in recent times and is yet another feather in the hit music director's cap.
