Maareesan, the Tamil comedy thriller featuring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu in the leads, was released on the big screens on July 25. Helmed by Sudheesh Shankar, the film had a decent run at the box office despite getting positive reviews from fans and critics alike. After a month of its theatrical run, the film is now set to arrive on the OTT platform. Recently, the makers announced Maareesan's OTT release date, leaving the fans excited. If you missed watching this film on the big screen, here's when you can stream it online. Maareesan OTT Release: The film will be streaming on the OTT giant Netflix on August 22. On Sunday, the digital platform took to Instagram and dropped a poster of the film and announced the film's OTT release date. 'Get in guys, we are going to Thiruvannamalai.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Maareesan: Star Cast and Storyline Apart from Fahadh and Vaivelu, the film also features Kovai Sarala, Vivek Prasanna, PL Thenappan and Renuka in pivotal roles. It follows the story of Dhaya (played by Fahadh Faasil), a petty thief, and Velayudham Pillai (played by Vadivelu), an elderly man with Alzheimer's. Dhaya initially intends to deceive and rob Velayudham, but their journey together evolves into something more complex. The film explores their unusual relationship, emotional confrontations, and the consequences of betrayal, shifting from a light-hearted road movie to a thriller.

The latter agreed to the film and brought a fresh dimension to his performance. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Fahadh said, 'I first heard it as a Malayalam film. I was planning a Malayalam film at the time, until I heard this. When we started casting, I said, 'We need someone like Vadivelu sir for this movie." 'After those discussions, the producer approached us. He is already a Tamil producer and has asked why we aren't filming this in Tamil. However, my only condition was that if we were doing it in Tamil, it had to be with Vadivelu sir," the Vettaiyan actor added. Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu's Upcoming Projects: The actor will be next seen in the romantic comedy film Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira. Vadievelu, on the other hand, is yet to announce his next project. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
