Mysskin was not the only one who was impressed by the film. Actor-director Bharathiraja and Superstar Rajinikanth also had high praise for the film and its director upon watching it. They too expressed their opinions on the film. Renowned filmmaker Shankar was also hugely impressed by the relationship drama. So much so that he too took to his Twitter handle to share the fact that Maamanithan gave him the satisfaction of having watched a good film. Stating that Seenu Ramasamy has delivered a "realistic classic", he was all praise for Vijay Sethupathi's performance in the film, expressing that the actor deserves a National Award for his brilliant performance.

In this day and age that we live in, OTT platforms aim to acquire the digital rights of a film in order to stream it on their respective platform which in turn generates revenue for them. Well, this time it is the Arha Media & Broadcasting Private Limited owned aha Tamil that has managed to bag the right to this film. Enlightened by this, the over-the-top streaming service took to its Twitter handle and announced the news by saying "மாமனிதன் படக்குழுவினருக்கு ஆஹாவின் மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துக்கள்! ❤️ Happy to have bagged the digital rights for #Maamanithan". The Tamil part of that translates to, "Aha's heartfelt congratulations to the Maamanithan crew!"

The film which has finally been released today has been in development since 2016 right after the success of 2016's Dharma Durai. The film's shooting started on 15 December 2018 and was wrapped up on 12 February 2019. But the film's release was delayed due to financial issues. But with that out of the way now, Maamanithan looks like it will have a strong run at the box office.

Maamanithan narrates the story of an autorickshaw driver who wants his children to complete their education at a public school. Unfortunately, he gets caught in dire circumstances. The story of the movie progresses as the protagonist tries to overcome the adverse situations.

Leading Tamil actor 'Makkal Selvan' Vijay Sethupathi's Maamanithan is finally set to open in cinemas worldwide on June 24 and is the fourth time he is collaborating with the National Award-winning filmmaker Seenu Ramasamy after their Thenmerku Paruvakaatru (2010), Dharma Durai (2016), and the long-delayed Idam Porul Yaeval, which is yet to release. Produced under the YSR Films banner by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has also composed the music for the film with his father 'Isaignani' Ilaiyaraaja, the upcoming film is getting a big release in Tamil Nadu and Kerala by RK Suresh's Studio 9. With promotions currently underway, the makers on Tuesday released the Maamanithan sneak peek video that shows an important sequence featuring Vijay Sethupathi and the film's heroine Gayathrie Shankar. 

In the Maamanithan sneak peek, we see Vijay Sethupathi playing the role of an auto driver and Gayathrie as his wife, who are parents to a boy and a girl. The promo teaser shows the parents getting their kids ready for school. As the scene progresses, Vijay Sethupathi notices new land plots being put up for sale where he resides, while dropping off his children at their school. It is there when a teacher informs him that Vijay Sethupathi can gain a commission by entering the plot for sale business and encourages him to pursue ahead. Although the scene progresses at a brisk pace, we get a hint at where the crux of the story of Maamanithan is headed and the subsequent consequences that were hinted at in the trailers released earlier. 

Maamanithan has witnessed several delays leading up to its release, with the biggest USP of the film being legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja and his son Yuvan Shankar Raja collaborating on the music for the first time. Apart from Vijay Sethupathi and Gayathrie, the film's star cast also includes the late K. P. A. C. Lalitha, Guru Somasundaram, Viswasam fame Anikha Surendran, Malayalam actor Shaji Chen among others in pivotal roles. 

Watch the Maamanithan - Sneak Peek below: 

Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi's Maamanithan is set for its theatrical release on June 24 and we are just one week away from witnessing the film on the big screens. After a long and patient wait, the film will now release on June 24, clearing all the financial hurdles. RK Suresh will be presenting the film through his banner of Studio 9. Ahead of the movie's release, the makers have now released a short promo teaser and it looks intense and promising. The short promo also gives us a glimpse of the dialogues that have been thoughtfully written. From what we see, it looks like Maamanithan will be an intense and emotional hard-hitting drama that will be backed by strong performances.

Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi and Super Deluxe fame Gayahtrie play the lead roles in this film that has Guru Somasundaram, Shaji Chen, Anikha Surendran, Manikandan, Jewel Mary, and others in supporting roles. The highlight aspect of Maamanithan happens to be its music which is composed together by the legendary Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja and his son, Yuvan Shankar Raja and the duo are professionally working together for the first ever time. Maamanithan is bankrolled by Yuvan under this banner of YSR Films and has cinematography handled by M Sukumar. Sreekar Prasad is the editor of the flick.

Maamanithan has cleared the censors with a clean U certificate and the film is expected to be catered to the family audiences. Seenu Ramasamy's films have always been known for its feel-good emotional moments and it is going to be interesting to see what he has in store for the audience with Maamanithan. Vijay Sethupathi was last seen in the recently released Kamal Haasan starrer Vikram which has turned out to be a huge blockbuster and Maamanithan will now be his next release.

'Makkal Selvan' Vijay Sethupathi's much-awaited Maamanithan is gearing up for a huge theatrical release soon and marks the actor's reunion with National Award-winning filmmaker Seenu Ramasamy after they previously collaborated in films like Thenmerku Paruvakaatru (2010) and Dharma Durai (2016).

The Maamanithan trailer starts off showing sincere and hard-working Vijay Sethupathi, who aims to bring up his kids in the best environment possible. However, things go awry when plans take a negative turn due to an unexpected incident leading to a number of obstacles, with Vijay Sethupathi eventually shown in the trailer ending up on the banks of Varanasi. Based on the Maamanithan trailer, one can assume there will be a lot to witness on the performance front from Vijay Sethupathi, Gayathrie Shankar, and the others, including the screenplay and direction of Seenu Ramasamy, who has garnered a name in the industry for being a highly-talented filmmaker. 

Among the various big highlights in Maamanithan, the film also marks the first time 'Isaignani' Ilaiyaraaja and his son Yuvan Shankar Raja are collaborating together.

Censored with a 'U' certificate by the CBFC, Maamanithan's ensemble cast includes the late K. P. A. C. Lalitha, Viswasam fame Anikha Surendran, Malayalam actor Shaji Chen among others in pivotal roles. 

Watch the Maamanithan trailer below: 

Vijay Sethupathi has collaborated with filmmaker Seenu Ramasamy and this marks their fourth project together after 2010's Thenmerku Paruvakaatru, 2013's Idam Porul Yaeval, and 2016's Dharma Durai. The upcoming drama film is written and directed by Seenu Ramasamy and bankrolled by Yuvan Shankar Raja under his YSR Productions banner. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi, Gayathrie  while K.P.A.C. Lalitha, Anikha and Guru Somasundaram will appear in crucial roles. In addition, Yuvan composed the soundtrack of this film along with his father, Maestro Ilaiyaraaja, while the cinematography and editing of the film are taken up by M. Sukumar and A. Sreekar Prasad, respectively.

Maamanithan will cater to the family audience as it attempts to spell out the struggles of a typical middle-class and the extent the man of the family would go to provide what they need. Vijay Sethupathi will be seen in the role of an auto driver called Radhakrishnan in the movie while Gayathri Shankar will be taking on the role of his wife.
