While Telugu filmmakers have embraced the reopening of theatres wholeheartedly by releasing their films, both big and small, only in cinemas, Tamil filmmakers are still wary of poor footfall due to Covid-19 fears. Several Tamil films have skipped theatres to release directly on OTT, especially on platforms such as SonyLIV, Disney Plus Hotstar and ZEE5. Now another Tamil film, ‘MGR Magan‘ has skipped its theatrical release and is releasing on OTT in November.
Disney Plus Hotstar announced the impending release of ‘MGR Magan’ on its social media handles this morning. The film will premiere on the platform on 4th November, as a Diwali treat for the platform’s Tamil subscribers, and of course, for other language subscribers too. ‘MGR Magan’ boasts a stellar cast, comprising Sasikumar, Samuthirakani, Sathyaraj, Mirnalini Ravi, Singam Puli and Saranya Ponvannan. The film is written and directed by Ponram, and produced by Screen Scene.
‘MGR Magan’ is a social drama, set in the backdrop of rural South India. It depicts how villagers unite to beat the antagonist who wants to blow up a mountain in the outskirts of the village for his selfish gains.
‘MGR Magan’ premieres on Disney Plus Hotstar on 4th November. Check out their announcement post on Twitter –
