Popular YouTuber cum movie reviewer 'blue sattai' Maran is making his foray into the Tamil film industry as director and his debut directorial will be produced by Suresh Kamatchi. Only a while ago, Suresh Kamatchi was in the news for waiting almost a year for Simbu to begin their film Maanaadu, only for STR to quit later on. While the producer had hopes of reviving the political thriller with another hero, the only official update that has come from him ever since is this new Maran film. 

Maaran first announced his plans of directing a film with Tamil Talkies one year ago but for reasons unknown, the film failed to take off. In May this year, Maran made an audition call at the end of his Maharshi review video stating that his film would begin in June; however the movie has officially been confirmed only now.
