The teaser of the upcoming Tamil film, Maareesan, starring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu, was unveiled by the makers on Wednesday (June 4). Written by V Krishna Moorthy and directed by Sudheesh Sankar, the film marks a reunion between the two actors after their acclaimed 2023 film Maamannan.

The teaser, set to the popular ‘Aaha Inba Nilaavinile’ song from 1957’s Mayabazar, opens with aerial shots that track two men on a bike (played by Fahadh and Vadivelu) travelling through different landscapes. Everything points towards a breezy, feel-good road film, until the two lead characters begin to sing the Mayabazar song. The table turns, and we begin to see glimpses of a thriller story.

The 83-minute teaser does a great job at piquing our interests without revealing much about the film’s plot.

The teaser also shows actor Vivek Prasanna as Fahadh’s character’s friend, while veteran comedian Kovai Sarala and actor-producer PL Thenappan appear as cops. Sithara, Livingston, Renuka, Saravana Subbiah, Krishna, Haritha, and Telephone Raja are also part of the cast of Maareesan.

With music scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, the film has cinematography by Kalaiselvan Sivaji and editing by Sreejith Sarang. RB Choudary produces the film under his Super Good Films banner.
