Dhanush’s recent film Maaran headed for a direct digital release and it is streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar from yesterday. The film is directed by Karthick Naren and Malavika Mohanan played the female lead. The response for the film is utterly disappointing and his fans are left wondered how could Dhanush sign a project that hardly had any interesting content.
