I'm launching my sister Jaya's son Ajay with this film. He previously worked as an assistant director for 'Bichagadu 2'. Impressed by his dedication, I gave him this opportunity. Ram sir has been a good friend of mine for many years. He released my first Telugu film 'Nakili' and has supported me ever since. Now, he's releasing 'Maargan'. Soon, 'Bhadrakaali' will also come. When my films release in Telugu, Bhashya Shree Garu handles everything—this is our 12th collaboration. Deepshika's role will impress everyone. Brigida is a talented actress.

Vijay Antony sir, being a music director, editor, director, and producer, made the journey easy with his support. It's a supernatural thriller. I admire director Rajamouli a lot—his films 'Eega' and 'Magadheera' are my favorites. We invested heavily in this film. The underwater sequence was particularly challenging. All post-production was done in Vijay Antony sir's studio. Bhashya Shree Garu provided excellent dialogues and lyrics. Vijay sir has given his 100% to the role. Ajay acted impressively, especially in the underwater scenes. Deepshika and Brigida also performed wonderfully. 'Maargan' releases on June 27—please watch and support it.' Ramanjaneyulu added, 'I have known Vijay Antony for fifteen years. Back then, he was working as a music composer. He once told me he wanted to try acting. I asked why he wanted to turn hero when he was a successful music director, but he was determined. Since then, I've been associated with him. Our first film together was 'Nakili'. Now, we're releasing 'Maargan'. Soon, 'Bhadrakaali' will also release. Vijay Antony is very relatable, like the boy next door. He is clearing the path for his nephew Ajay, who already has a project lined up with the director of 'Bichagadu'. Vijay never thinks about money and is always ready to help others. The media should support such a good-hearted person. Please watch and support 'Maargan' when it releases.' Ajay Dhishan said, ''Maargan' is my debut film. I'm very happy to be introduced under Vijay Antony's banner. I'm grateful to director Leo John Paul for this opportunity. He's a brilliant creator and renowned Tamil editor. Brigida is very talented and performed well as a police officer. Deepshika also acted beautifully. Thanks to Ram sir for releasing the film in Telugu. Bhashya Shree wrote excellent Telugu dialogues. Our film comes out on June 27. Please watch it!' Deepshika said, 'I'm very happy today. The Telugu trailer of 'Maargan' has been released, and I celebrated my birthday here, making it extra special. I thank director Leo John Paul for giving me such a good role. He's a famous Tamil editor now making his directorial debut. Vijay Antony's films are unique and socially conscious. That's why I immediately said yes. Ajay looks exactly like his uncle Vijay Antony. I'm happy to have worked with such a wonderful team and believe 'Maargan' will be a big hit.' Brigida said, ''Maargan' is very special to me. It's my first film this year. I believe along with passion, one must have patience. Because I waited patiently, I got a film like 'Maargan'. Vijay sir and Leo John Paul were my seniors in college. I have much to say, but I don't want to reveal spoilers! Ajay didn't act like it was his first film. I played a police officer for the first time. Deepshika is wonderful. Please watch and support 'Maargan' when it releases on June 27.'

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

Vijay Antony's Maargan trailer promises a gripping investigative, fantasy thriller!
The makers of director Leo John Paul's investigative fantasy thriller 'Maargan' on Monday released the trailer of the film, featuring actor Vijay Antony in the lead, much to the delight of fans and film buffs. The trailer shows that Vijay Antony plays a cop called Dhruv from the Mumbai police in the film. Dhruv, who has suffered a personal loss, takes it upon himself to track down a serial killer who seems to be targetting young girls. The killer apparently injects the victims with a drug that leaves the bodies of the victims charred. As the cops close in on a suspect and begin interrogating him, they realise that the person they are dealing with is someone who is way more powerful than what they presumed.... 01:17 Maargan - Motion Poster Talking to IANS about the genre of his film, well known editor Leo John Paul who turns director with this film, said, "Forty per cent of this film will centre around investigation. The remaining 60 per cent will revolve around mystery. To put it correctly in English, it will deal with astral travel. If you watch the last shot of this film's trailer, you will see the astral body of the character coming out. Fantasy is a favourite genre of mine as it helps me see cinema in a larger than life manner. So, combining both fantasy and an investigative thriller in equal measure, we have made this film." The film, which is to hit screens on June 27, will apart from Vijay Antony, also feature actors Ajay Dhishan, Samuthirakani, Brigida, Deepshikha, Mahanathi Shankar and Vinodh Sagar in pivotal roles. Music for the film is by Vijay Antony, whose wife Fatima Vijay Antony has produced the film. Cinematography is by S Yuva and editing is Leo John Paul himself.
