Produced by @kumarkarupannan @larkstudios1_ #MaamanFromMay16"

The film has triggered huge interest among fans and film buffs.

It was recently in the news when actor Sivakarthikeyan chose to make a surprise visit to the sets of the film to meet actor Soori, who is a good friend of his.

Actor Jeyaprakash, who is also a part of the cast of action drama 'Maaman', had some months ago disclosed that actor Sivarkarthikeyan had paid a visit to the sets of the film even then.

Taking to his Instagram page, actor Jeyaprakash, who expressed happiness at being a part of 'Maaman', wrote, "#Maaman shoot in full swing in Trichy! Exciting to be part of this journey alongside @soorimuthuchamy, Rajkiran sir, and Aishwarya Lekshmi Solid cast, solid film in the making! Great catching up with @sivakarthikeyan when he dropped by to wish the team! #tamilcinema #movies #tamilmovie #actor #kollywood aishu__"

Meanwhile, sources close to the unit of Maaman say that the film will revolve around the relationship between a six year old boy and his maternal uncle (mother's brother). Shooting for the film predominantly took place in places around Trichy.

Apart from Soori, Jayaprakash, Rajkiran and Aishwarya Lekshmi, the film will also feature Bala Saravanan, Viji Chandrashekar, Baba Baskar, Nikhila Shankar and Master Prakeeth Shivan among others.

Expectations for the film are high for a number of reasons. Firstly, the film is being directed by Prasanth Pandiyaraj, who is best known for having directed the popular hit series, 'Vilangu'. Next, Soori has again teamed up with producer K Kumar, the man who produced the actor's earlier superhit film 'Garudan' as well.

Can't wait for this! Soori's performance in Garudan was outstanding, and with Prasanth Pandiyaraj directing, this is going to be 🔥. The father-son dynamic sounds heartwarming too!

Interesting premise but I hope they don't make it too sentimental. Soori is great at balancing comedy and emotion - hope this film showcases his range properly.

Shooting in Trichy gives me hope for authentic locations. Too many films these days look like they're shot on sets. Looking forward to this one!

I love family dramas when done right. Hope this doesn't turn into another over-the-top commercial film. The director's Vilangu was decent, so fingers crossed!

Respectful criticism: I wish they'd release more BTS content or teasers. The marketing feels a bit quiet for a film releasing next month. But the team's track record gives me hope!
