Fahadh
Faasil
reunites
with
his
Maamannan
co-actor
Vadivelu
for
the
film
Maareesan.
Directed
by
Sudheesh
Shankar,
Maareesan
is
billed
as
a
comedy-drama,
a
complete
turnaround
from
the
social
drama
Maamannan.
Faasil
plays
a
thief
on
a
mission
to
con
Vadivelu.
To
succeed
without
resorting
to
violence
or
crime,
Fahadh’s
character
decides
to
win
Vadivelu’s
character’s
trust
so
that
he
can
get
access
to
his
funds.
The
trailer,
which
released
on
Monday,
begins
with
Fahadh
being
intrigued
by
how
a
fish
swimming
in
the
water
became
prey
to
a
crane
flying
above
in
the
sky.
He
sets
his
eyes
on
a
middle-aged
man
(Vadivelu)
carrying
a
lot
of
money
on
a
trip
to
Thiruvannamalai.
But
a
simple
theft
becomes
a
hassle
when
Fahadh
discovers
that
Vaidvelu
has
Alzheimer’s
and
has
forgotten
his
debit
card’s
ATM
pin
and
route
home.
In
the
final
part
of
the
trailer,
Fahadh
takes
a
dig
at
comparisons
of
his
acting
performance
to
Kamal
Haasan,
calling
himself
‘not
such
a
great
actor
like
him’.
Maareesan‘s
music
is
composed
by
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja.
The
film
releases
in
theatres
on
Sunday,
July
20.
