Dhanush‘s latest release Atrangi Re set new benchmarks of success on Hotstar. It gained mixed reviews but still connected with the audience and became a success. But, the recently released stills from the sets of Maaran also look promising.
Atrangi Re was a musical that had many supports. It was a multilingual film in which the domestic audience of Dhanush also helped to bring the audience. Akshay Kumar plugged the rest with his amazing extended cameo. The music was also a huge advantage and thanks to AR Rahman for that.
But, it is not the same in Maaran. The film stars Malavika Mohanan alongside Dhanush. Unlike a feel-good musical that people loved on the Christmas Eve holiday, Maaran is a thriller.
Regardless, the director of the film is Karthick Naren. He is very young but has proved his capability as a director.
In the famous anthology Navarasa, he directed the part called Project Agni that featured Arvind Swami.
Malavika Mohanan has proved her worth in some Malayalam films. She was last seen in Tamil film Master. It was an immensely successful film at the box office behind only Sooryavanshi in the box office collection.
Regardless, Maaran will release on 14th January 2022 on the occasion of Pongal. This will also be released on Disney+Hotstar. Although chances are less, this film can still surpass Atrangi Re in terms of success.
