CE Features

The trailer of Ivana's next Mathimaran, also starring debut actor Venkat Senguttavan, was released on Thursday. The film is written and directed by Mantra Veerapandian. 

The trailer shows Ivana and Venkat's Nedumaaran as siblings. Nedumaaran is a person of restricted growth and is trolled all his life, but his sister always has his back. As he grows up, he falls in love with a girl. Things take an ugly turn as a series of murders against young women starts taking place in the city. 

In an earlier conversation with CE, director Mantra said that the film mildly mirrors his life, "Although not on the level shown in the film, I have faced discrimination all my life. I am an average-looking guy from a southern village, and all my life, I've seen people express disbelief whenever I moved up the societal ladder. I faced this when I came to Chennai and even while I worked in Oman. People are quick to judge a book by its cover.

Apart from Venkat Senguttuvan and Ivana, the cast of Mathimaran also includes MS Bhaskar, Aadukalam Narein, Aradya, and Bava Chelladurai. While  Karthik Raaja has composed music for Mathimaran, Parvaez K has cranked the camera and Sathish Suriya has handled the editing. While a release date is yet to be announced, the film is gearing up for release in December.
