‘Maargan' trailer: Vijay Antony investigates a ‘devil' in this unique investigative thriller

The Hindu27-05-2025
Tamil star Vijay Antony on Monday (May 26) unveiled the trailer of his upcoming fantasy murder mystery, Maargan. Directed by editor Leo John Paul in his directorial debut, the film is set to release in theatres on June 27.
The trailer begins to show Vijay Antony as Dhruv, a senior ADGP from Mumbai, who comes to Chennai following the trail of a serial killer with a shocking modus operandi — he injects his victims with a drug that chars their bodies. In an expected turn of events, we see even Dhruv getting injected by the mysterious drug, leaving one half of his body completely charred.
At one point, Dhruv and his team zero in on a suspect named Tamilarivu (Ajay Dishan), who is put in solitary confinement 'to bring out the devil in him.' As Tamilarivu struggles to maintain his sanity within those walls, the final moments of the trailer hint that perhaps calling him a devil wasn't just a figure of speech.
Maargan, previously titled Gagana Maargan, features an ensemble cast including Samuthirakani, Brigida Saga, Mahanathi Shankar, Prithika, Vinodh Sagar, Deepshikha, Kalakka Povadhu Yaaru Archana, Kanimozhi, and Anthagaram Natarajan.
Leo John Paul, an award-winning editor known for films like Soodhu Kavvum, Attakathi, Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum and Indru Netru Naalai, leads a technical team featuring Yuva S as cinematographer and Raja A as art director. John Paul also edits the film, while Vijay Antony has composed the music for the film.
Meera Vijay Antony produces Maargan under the banner of Vijay Antony Films Corporation.

Actor Father, Swimmer Daughter, Cricketer Son-in-Law: Meet The 'Thalaivasal' Vijay Family

'Thalaivasal' Vijay has earned a special place in the hearts of audiences through his memorable character roles. In the 1990s, there were few Tamil films released without his presence. One of his most iconic moments came in the film Kadhal Kottai (1996), where the song Vyyyathe Sakothara, featuring his dance performance, became a huge hit. He adopted the screen name 'Thalaivasal Vijay' after his debut in the film Thalaivasal (1992). His acting talent has been evident in a range of celebrated films, including Thevar Magan (1992) and Mahanadhi (1994). In recent years, he has appeared in titles such as D Block (2022), Yaanai (2022), Laththi (2022) and My 3 (2023). A truly versatile performer, Vijay has worked not only in Tamil but also in Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi films.

However, 'Thalaivasal' Vijay is not the only well-known figure in his family. His eldest daughter, Jayaveena, is an accomplished swimmer who won a medal at the South Asian Swimming Championships in Kathmandu, Nepal. A promising athlete from Tamil Nadu, she has represented India at various international events and earned recognition as 'India's Fastest Swimmer'. Adding to the family's sporting pedigree, Jayaveena is married to Baba Aparajith, a key player for the Tamil Nadu cricket team and a former IPL player.

The couple, united by their shared passion for sport, married a few years ago. 'Thalaivasal' Vijay himself has had a deep interest in sports since childhood and still enjoys watching various sports channels at home. He takes pride in having both a daughter and a son-in-law who excel in their respective athletic fields.
