'Maaran' trailer: Dhanush's investigative crime-thriller looks suspenseful and promising
What's the story
Trailer of Maaran is here! Starring Dhanush and Malavika Mohanan, the crime thriller will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on March 11. The film will release in four languages like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. While the trailer mainly focused on Mathi Maaran's (Dhanush) investigative skills as a journalist, we also got to see his romantic side. Here's a breakdown of the trailer.

What does the trailer show?
Like most trailers, this one too starts with a panoramic view of a city and the dialogues in the backdrop talk of Maaran, a "drunkard journalist." We understand that he's up against the big shots and thus is inviting trouble for himself. Dhanush appears in magazine covers first and then we see him in action fighting goons with a glass bottle, pen nib, etc.

What else do we see in the trailer?
After establishing Maaran's fearsome character, the 2:09-minute-long trailer launches Mohanan's character named Thara. She works in the same office as Maaran and likes him, but "I like your sister more." Smruthi Venkat as Dhanush's sister lightens up the otherwise heavy clip. It again gains intensity when Samuthirakani is introduced as the antagonist. He plays Pazhani, a political leader. Dhanush-Samuthirakani's face-off will be exciting!
