The film's plot revolves around a bunch of archaeologists, who are on a mission to unravel the secrets and unearth the treasure hidden in an ancient temple located in Maayon hill. The hill is shrouded in mystery and no one can enter the temple after 6pm in the evening. As they try to crack the mystery of the 5,000 year-old temple, they have to face one hurdle after another.

The film had Sibiraj, Tanya Ravichandran, Radha Ravi, KS Ravikumar, Bagavathi Perumal, Hareesh Peradi and Aarash Shah to name a few. Music for the film is by Ilaiyaraaja, cinematography by C Ramprasad and editing by Ram Pandian and Kondalaro. Maayon was bankrolled by Double Meaning Productions.

OTTplay critic P Sangeetha wrote in her review, "Director Kishore's Maayon is a hotchpotch of many elements that becomes an overkill, especially in the first half where we hear many iterations of the back story of the temple, which ends up testing our patience. Maayon is an idea that looks great on paper, but when it comes to the execution, it falters. And it's definitely not India's version of The Da Vinci Code, though the premise had the potential to be."
