The Tamil film, Maara starring Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath is going to skip its theatrical release and stream online directly. The movie will have its Digital Premiere on December 17th. The film is the Tamil remake of the critical and financial Malayalam hit Charlie (2015), starring Dulquer Salmaan and Parvathy Thiruvothu.
Despite a successful subject and having a good star cast, somehow, Maara fails to rake the interest in the audience as much as it should do. The makers are also to blame here as they are not promoting the film to take it to the audience. There are less than two weeks for the movie premiere and it has to be seen if things will change.
Interestingly, the film was first announced in 2017 and it also went for the change in the directors and the heroines twice before going on floors. Even after things fell in place, the movie was stalled for around a year and it finally went on floors in October 2019. The Lockdown later made the makers opt for a Digital Release. Probably, all these factors combined had taken the sheen out of the film. The movie now desperately needs some promotional push to set the ball rolling.
