In a huge country like India, we have several political histories from different states. Sometimes we get to know about them from our history books, and sometimes we remain aloof from them.

As per the interviews of the director of Maamannan, Mari Selvaraj (the director of the film) has revealed some unknown facts about it. He said that the film was always in his mind, and he was waiting for the correct time to pen down his thoughts. It has been stated by him that it is an unusual film, and he was quite sceptical about it at the beginning. He did not know if the film would work for the actors, but when Udhayanidhi Stalin agreed to work on it, his thoughts about Maamannan took a 180° turn.
Selvaraj stated in his interview that Maamannan is based on a true story that happened. The incident happened exactly 15 days after the release of the first film, Paraiyerum Peruman, of Selevaraj. The exact true incident has not been revealed by the director because he feared that revealing the incident will be a spoiler for the film. Hence, we have got the news that Mari Selvaraj’s film Maamannan is indeed based on a true story. However, the director did not want to reveal the true incident because of the aforementioned reason. Perhaps he is going to reveal the story in his later interviews.
The Storyline of Maamannan
Maamannan is having an interesting storyline. The trailer of the movie reveals that the storyline of the film is quite tense. As the introduction of this piece has already revealed, the film is about an intensely political issue that Selvaraj has been a witness to. The film deals with political issues which are crucial to the state of Tamil Nadu. We know that politics can strain our relationships with others. This movie is a representation of that. The power and ambitions that go behind attaining a political position have been dealt with interestingly in the film.
In the movie Maamannan we are made to come across not only several political issues but also social problems that these issues give rise to. It has been termed a “political thriller” film. The entire storyline of the cinema revolves around politics that have resulted in a strained relationship between the politicians and the common people. Common people are the ones who are most affected whenever there is a political disruption. This film is an exact representation of that scenario.
