Maara: Charlie Tamil remake set for release in Amazon Prime

Dulquer Salmaan’s blockbuster Malayalam film ‘Charlie’ is getting remade in Tamil as ‘Maara’. Madhavan is playing the lead role in the film with Shraddha Srinath and Sshivada as the heroines. Dhilip Kumar, who earlier directed an experimental short film named ‘Kalki’, is making his feature film debut with this one. The film set for a direct OTT release. It is scheduled to premiere in Amazon Prime Video on December 17.

‘Charlie’ directed by Martin Prakkat was a huge hit, both critically and commercially. The film went on to win 8 awards at the Kerala State level including the ones for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Screenplay. Martin had co-written the film with Unni R.

The Tamil version of ‘Charlie’ is tweaked the subject to suit the sensibilities of the Tamil audience. Shraddha Srinath is reprising Parvathy’s character from the original while Sshivada reprises the role played by Aparna Gopinath. Alexander Babu and veteran Moulee will be seen in other major roles. The film has music scored by Ghibran.
