Amazon Prime Video releases the trailer of R Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath’s Maara
Amazon Prime Video today unveiled the much-awaited trailer of the upcoming Tamil romantic musical drama Maara.
Starring, talented actors R Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath, the film is directed by Dhilip Kumar and produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallapa under Pramod films.
The Tamil film is set for an exclusive global premiere on 8th January 2021 on Amazon Prime Video across 200 countries and territories. Maara also features Alexander Babu, Shivada Nair, Mouli, Padmavati Rao, and Abhirami in other prominent roles.
Taking the viewers into a picturesque world, 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 i.e. 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 in Maara, R Madhavan shares, “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. The role of my character has been crafted with the foremost importance given to the honesty in the relationships he shares with others. And that trait makes the person somebody that the audience falls in love with instantly.
He further added, ” 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. The film revolves around these relationships and the beauty in sharing experiences. It’s a very sweet world to be in. And to bring this entire world to life there are some stellar performances delivered by the other members of the cast. I share a very special relationship with many of them both on and off-screen and that made many of my scenes more than just memorable while making them. I am sure and look forward to the audience experiencing the same extent of joy while watching. This one is close to my heart and is about getting close to yours too.”
Speaking about her role in the movie, Shraddha Srinath commented, “Paaru is a girl 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 which has some epic stories and people.”
When Paaru sees a fairy tale she heard from a stranger as a child painted across the walls of a coastal town, she goes in search of the man who painted it — Maara. Directed by Dhilip Kumar, Maara is produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallappa under Pramod films and stars R Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath in the lead roles.
Prime members in India and 200 countries and territories can stream Maara exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in Tamil from 8th January 2021.

The Family Man season 1 is an edgy, action-drama series, which tells the story of a middle-class man, Srikant Tiwari, who works for a special cell of the National Investigation Agency. The series plots Srikant’s tight-rope walk as he struggles to strike a balance between his secretive low paying, high-pressure, high-stakes job and being a husband and father. This is as much a satirical take on the geopolitics of the region as it is the story of a middle-class guy who is a world-class spy.
