Actors R Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath are looking forward to their upcoming film, Maara. The trailer of the Tamil romantic musical drama released recently and the movie premieres on Amazon Prime Video across 200 countries on January 8.
The trailer showcases the life of Paaru (Shraddha Srinath), and how she finds a diary full of sketches and paintings in her new apartment. Awestruck by the paintings, Paaru heads out to find the artist, Maara (R Madhavan). Her journey traverses through a new realm of art, music, drama, romance, hope, ensuring a soul-satisfying experience.
Talking about his role, R Madhavan says, “Maara extends from being a person to a world filled with pleasant people. The incidents and conversations these people have are grounded, yet the experiences they have are surreal, and that makes the audience an interesting part of the ensemble. In case of my character, a lot of importance has been given to the honesty in the relationships he shares with others. And that trait makes the person someone the audience will fall in love with instantly. You can feel him touching lives without actually putting in an effort. To me that was the essence of this guy which got me excited to play him.”
Actress Shraddha Srinath describes her character, Paaru, as someone who doesn’t know what she wants. “But she sure can tell what she doesn’t. She also has a sense of motivation and empathy that draws her to other people. Paaru is the girl with whom you’re just an acquaintance chilling with her for a moment and then suddenly, you’re her partner in crime. I really love the way she explores, gets lost in puzzles and retains that kid while being part of this world that has some epic stories and people,” she says.
The film is directed by Dhilip Kumar and produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallapa. Maara also features Alexander Babu, Shivada Nair, Mouli, Padmavati Rao and Abhirami in other prominent roles.
