The shoot for Mari Selvaraj’s new film Maamannan is underway. Actor Fahadh Faasil joined the sets earlier this week. Photos of Fahadh along with director Mari Selvaraj and others from the crew have been doing the rounds on social media. Fahadh is seen in a white shirt with his moustache twirled. Maamannan co-stars actors Udhayanidhi Stalin, Keerthy Suresh, and Vadivelu in pivotal roles. Fahadh is likely to essay the role of an antagonist. Maamannan is bankrolled by actor-politician Udhayanidhi Stalin under the banner of Red Giant Movies.

A story set against a rural backdrop, Maamannan has music by composer AR Rahman. Theni Eashwar is on board as the cinematographer. Selva RK is on board as the editor, while Dhilip Subbarayan and Sandy Master have been roped in as the action and dance choreographer respectively.
