The trailer showcases the life of Paaru who is awestruck by the paintings and heads out to find the artist named Maara, played by Madhavan. The film was initially slated for a theatrical release but due to the pandemic, its makers have opted for a digital release. It was scheduled to premiere on December 17 in Amazon Prime OTT, but it was later pushed to January 8, 2021. 

Though Maara will be Dhilip’s first feature film as a director, he has the well-known short film Kalki to his credit. The star cast also includes Alexander Babu, Shivada Nair, Mouli, Padmavati Rao and Abhirami. The technical crew comprises Bhuvan Sreenivasan handling the camera and Ghibran composing music. Maara is produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallapa under the banner of Pramod Films.
