The much-awaited first-look poster of Mari Selvaraj film is here. In the poster, the film's heroes Vadivelu and Udhayanidhi Stalin, are seen in a revenge mode. While both of them are perched on chairs, Udhayanidhi is seen holding a sword and Vadivelu is holding a gun. Both are seen in an intense avatar. In yet another poster that was released, Fahadh Faasil is also in a pensive look. The intriguing poster has piqued the curiosity among fans. Going by the series of posters, it looks like Vadivelu and Udhayanidhi Stalin will have many face-offs in the film.
Vadivelu plays the titular character Maamannan in the Mari Selvaraj project. The director had stated at an event that if Vadivelu hadn't come on board, he would have shelved the project. He stated that when he explained his concern to Udhayanidhi, he was more than ready to oblige. Udhayanidhi had jocularly stated that Vadivelu's performance has dominated the scenes in such a way that he has sidelined all the other actors.
"While Fahadh will be running helter skelter on screen, Keerthy (Suresh) and I will be here and there on screen. There are high chances of Vadivelu getting an award for the film."
Interestingly, Maamannan marks Udhayanidhi Stalin's last project as an actor. Soon after he took charge as Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development of Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi announced his retirement from films.
Music for the film is by AR Rahman, marking his maiden collaboration with Mari Selvaraj and Udhayanidhi Stalin. Rahman had stated that it was very interesting to work with Mari Selvaraj. His thoughts and style of filmmaking are quite different.
Maamannan is a political thriller and one of the most-awaited films of the year. It is said that Mari Selvaraj shot the film for over 125 days. The film is bankrolled by Udhayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies.
