The OTT platform ZEE5 unveiled its upcoming Tamil slate, including web series by filmmakers such as Vetri Maaran and Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi, at an event titled Oru Awesome Thodakkam on Tuesday.
Maaran, directed by Karthick Naren, is the kind of film one assumed to have kicked the bucket sometime in the last decade, when the hullabaloo of social media usurped a space reserved for news production and broadcast.He claims to have worked in seven different media organisations that fired him one after another for “speaking truth to power. ” Although you never see him performing anything close to serious journalism – researching a topic or interviewing a subject – the film calls him the best journalist in the country and flashes on screen his photo on the covers of top magazines.
With cinema halls currently operating at full capacity across India, big-budget films such as Etharkkum Thunindhavan and Radhe Shyam are hitting theatres this week. Meanwhile, OTT platforms continue to consistently provide content to keep audiences engaged, and there are still films like Maaran and Clap opting for direct digital premieres.
Here is the official trailer of Maaran. Dhanush stars in this latest action-thriller directed by Karthick Naren. Premiering on 11th March, in Disney+ Hotstar in 4 languages – Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

Shortly after the Vanniyar Sangam sent a legal notice to the makers of Suriya-starrer Jai Bhim seeking Rs 5 crore compensation for allegedly showing the community in a poor light, several noted film personalities, including filmmaker Vetri Maaran and actor Siddharth, have come out in support of the actor using the hashtag #WeStandWithSuriya on social media.

Written by Bipin Ragu and Dhilip, adapting Unni R’s original story, Maara begins like a frame narrative, a folktale retold to a little girl, with a near mythical connect (though this prologue ends with a myth that could have been avoided – placing a metal object in the hands of a person having a seizure).
Maara, starring actors R Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on January 8 and has been linked to the hit Malayalam film Charlie (2015), which starred Dulquer Salmaan and Parvathy. However, speaking to Silverscreen India, Maara director Dhilip Kumar said that the film was not about remaking Charlie, but about capturing its feel-good mood.
