Mathagam on OTT: Manikandan and Atharvaa lock horns in this gangster drama

The trailer of Atharvaa and Manikandan's upcoming gangster drama Mathagam is out. Going by the trailer, it looks like the web series revolves around a police force which is all set to bust a crime syndicate which poses a threat to the city. While Atharvaa plays an earnest cop, Manikandan plays one of the gangsters.

The trailer also gives a sneak peek into their interesting face-off where Manikandan says that despite holding a licensed gun, Atharvaa cannot shoot at his whim as he is responsible to the law. He adds that he can go on a shooting spree, on the other hand, since he isn't answerable to anyone. The series is set in a span of 30 hours and showcases a siege that happens overnight.
