Later, Udhay announced the movie will be his last outing as an actor after he was assigned a crucial role in Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's cabinet. He also opted out of a movie he had committed under Kamal Haasan's production. 

Later, at the film's audio launch, Mari made a comment on the blockbuster Tamil movie Thevar Magan which didn't go down well with many movie enthusiasts. There were many who were waiting for Maamannan's release to find fault with his sensibilities despite him making two remarkable projects, Pariyerum Perumal and Karnan, earlier. 

Upon its theatrical release a month ago, the film opened to good response and registered interesting figures at the box office in the initial days. Though there were a few who pointed out that it's his weakest work, the project went on to become the highest grosser in Udhay's career. 

Maamannan is now gearing up for its digital premiere; the film bankrolled by Red Giant Movies is dropping on Netflix on July 27. Mari has appeared in a promo video unveiled by the OTT giant.

The director will next direct Dhruv Vikram for a sports-based project. It was supposed to begin much earlier, but Udhay had requested the filmmaker to commence Maamannan first.
