Vijay Antony鈥檚 latest film, Maargan, was released in theatres today. Fans have already shared a bunch of reviews on social media, praising the performances and compelling storyline. Maargan has been touted as a murder mystery thriller, but for Vijay Antony, it is much more than that. He believes that the film can keep the audience hooked till the end.
In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, Vijay Antony said, 鈥淢aargan isn鈥檛 a typical serial killer movie. From the first frame to the last, it keeps the audience engaged.鈥 He even suggested that the music is going to be haunting which he has composed.
Earlier, director Leo John Paul told IANS, 鈥淔orty per cent of this film will centre around investigation. The remaining 60 per cent will revolve around mystery. To put it correctly in English, it will deal with astral travel. If you watch the last shot of this film鈥檚 trailer, you will see the astral body of the character coming out. Fantasy is a favourite genre of mine as it helps me see cinema in a larger than life manner. So, combining both fantasy and an investigative thriller in equal measure, we have made this film.鈥
The film has been gaining popularity since the makers published a trailer.
