Dhanush is Maaran in Karthick Naren’s next - D43 first look
The D43 first look and Besides of Dhanush, Maaran also stars Malavika Mohanan as the female lead.
The first look poster of director Karthick Naren’s upcoming film, tentatively titled D43, was released on the occasion of Dhanush’s 38th birthday. The first look also reveals the title of the film as Maaran.
The poster features an angry-looking Dhanush taking over one among his rivals. “His courage is his weapon Proudly presenting the primary look of #Maaran … Happy birthday (sic),” tweeted Karthick, while unveiling the poster.
Maaran is Karthick’s 4th directorial outing after his successful debut Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, which was followed by Mafia: Chapter 1. His other film, Naragasooran, boasting of an all-star cast, has been stuck in limbo for a couple of years now.
Mafia: Chapter 1 was a far cry from Karthick’s first film Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, which generated tons of clout for the young filmmaker within the industry. The extremely stylized gangster drama felt pretentious and was disappointed by its weak script.
Maybe that’s the rationale why Karthick chose to farm out the work to established writers. Maaran is scripted by Sharfu and Suhas, who are among the brightest Malayalam screenwriters today. The duo is understood for writing nail-biting thrillers like Varathan. They also co-wrote one among India’s best medical thrillers, Virus.
Bankrolled by Sathya Jyothi Films, the film also stars Malavika Mohanan and Smruthi Venkat of Mookuthi Amman fame. GV Prakash Kumar is scoring the music.
Meanwhile, Dhanush was last seen in director Karthik Subbaraj’s Jagame Thanthiram. The film that was released directly on Netflix due to the pandemic drew a mixed response from the critics and fans alike.
