Maragatha... is set in three different periods

Maragatha Naanayam is inspired from a real-life incident read by the director in the newspaper.

The hit pair of Aadhi and Nikki Galrani, who teamed up for the first time in Yagavarayinum Naa Kaaka, is back with yet another fantasy-horror comedy, Maragatha Naanayam. The film is set across three different periods — namely 1100, 1992 and 2016!

Adhi says, “The script is the hero in this flick — there are no defined ‘hero’ and ‘heroine’ tropes at all. I have done nine films so far, and right from my debut flick Mirugam — I ensure that I choose films in different genres. Maragatha Naanayam, directed by Saravan, is centered around five characters and I am extremely happy to be part of the film.”

He adds, “Normally, when a director narrates the full script, at some point of time, the energy level would drop. However, when I sat down with Saravan for the story narration, there was never a dull moment. The energy levels were intact until he completed it in two and a half hours’ time!”

Saravan, a former assistant to Ram Kumar of Mundasupatti fame, on his part, says, “The movie is inspired from a real-life incident, which I read in the newspaper a few years back. I have added my imagination to the script. It’s a fiction with comedy being the focus. You won’t find the clichéd hero-heroine roles here. They are part of a gang. Also, ghost portions are relatively less in the flick.”
While Anadharaj, Arunraja Kamaraj, Danny, Ramdoss, and MS Bhaskar appear in the supporting cast, Tollywood actor Brahmanandham has been roped to play a key character. Axess Film Factory is producing the movie, which will be released also in Telugu.
