Seenu has now taken to Twitter to inform that aha Tamil has bagged theatrical rights of the movie, though the OTT release date is yet to be finalized. He also requested everyone to watch Maamanithan once and let him know their opinion on the film.

The shooting of Maamanithan commenced in Theni in 2018 and was wrapped up in 2019. The movie's story revolves around a family man who faces several struggles after a decision he took while dealing with a land property goes haywire.

Seenu's next project, Idi Muzhakkam, which has GV Prakash playing the lead, is expected to release later this year. Billed as an action flick, the film is based on a few real incidents which happened in Madurai a few years ago.
