It will cost Rs. 18 thousand. There should be at least that amount. We have to go from here empty-handed and come back the same way. At one point, we were in a situation where we didn't have $50. We panicked because the train wasn't coming. We didn't even have money to catch the next train." But then Meenakshi said, 'We will win anyway.' Those words are still etched in my mind to this day,' he said. Rise to fame Since his debut in Pa.

Last Updated: Just a week before Maargan's theatrical release, the team shared that the movie has passed all censorship checks. Leo John Paul is excited about his upcoming film Maargan, which is set to hit theatres soon. Just a week before its big screen release, the team has shared the good news that the movie has passed all censorship checks. The film stars Vijay Antony as the main character, a police officer named Dhruv. Dhruv is on the hunt for a serial killer, played by Ajay Dishan, who has a strange method of killing his victims. He uses a substance that causes people's skin to blacken before they die. The recently released trailer gives a glimpse of this thrilling crime mystery. The makers said the film has received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). This means the movie can be watched by all age groups, but children below 12 should be accompanied by an adult. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vijay Antony (@vijayantony) Before stepping into the role of director for Maargan, Leo John Paul was already well-known in the film industry as an editor. He has worked on several popular films like Pizza, Soodhu Kavvum, Enakkul Oruvan, Maayavan and The Great Indian Kitchen. Even for Maargan, Leo has handled the editing himself. Revealing how Paul's involvement as editor in the film eased the post-production process, Vijay Antony, in an interview with OTT Play, said, 'Had I not done it, the work would have increased and probably I would have done a little more ahead. I usually like to keep films between 2 hours and 2 hours and 15 minutes. It depends on film to film and if a film is good, one can watch for three hours." Maargan is special for many reasons. It marks the directorial debut of Leo John Paul, who has also co-written the screenplay with Vishnu. Vijay Antony, who plays the lead role of a police officer in this action-packed thriller, has also composed the music for the film.

‘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.
