The trailer for "Maaman," a Tamil film starring Soori, set for release on May 16, 2025, highlighting Soori’s emotional performance and Hesham Abdul Wahab’s music as key draws, with the film being directed by Prasanth Pandiyaraj under Lark Studios. Soori, known as "Parotta Soori" since his comedic breakthrough in Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu (2009), has transitioned to dramatic lead roles, with critically acclaimed performances in films like Viduthalai Part 1 (2023) and Garudan (2024), positioning "Maaman" as a potential third consecutive success. The claim of "1st Theatrical Blockbuster" for Prasanth Pandiyaraj may be overstated, as his prior works like Bruce Lee (2017) and Vilangu (2022) received mixed reviews, suggesting "Maaman" could be a pivotal project for his directorial reputation in Tamil cinema.
