Leading OTT Major, Disney + Hotstar announced its slate of Tamil Releases last week in a bid to woo the Tamil audience. Nayanthara’s Mookuthi Amman is going to skip its theatrical release and stream online directly. The Trailer of the film is released earlier today and it promises to be a story blended with Blind Religious Fanaticism, Fake God men, and even Politics.
Going by the trailer, it looks like RJ Balaji and his family plans to visit their family deity only to realize that the Amman herself has come down to their home. The Amman starts to live with them triggering a series of funny events. But the later part of the trailer indicates that the story moves towards serious issues like fake babas and pastors manipulate the faith of the people for monetary gains and politics.
The concept sounds similar to Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal’s 2012 Blockbuster, Oh My God. The movie is remade into other languages as well. The only difference is Lord Kannaiya in the film becomes Mookuthi Amman in this film. The movie marks the directional debut of RJ Balaji and the trailer looks pretty promising. It will also have a simultaneous release in Telugu, thanks to Nayanthara’s popularity in both the Telugu States. The film is titled Ammoru Thalli in Telugu. Disney + Hotstar has confirmed November 14th (Diwali Special) as the Release Date of Mookuthi Amman and Ammoru Thalli.
