Maara is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language adventure romantic drama film directed by Dhilip Kumar in his directorial debut.
The film stars R. Madhavan, Shraddha Srinath, Abhirami, and Sshivada, and is an adaptation of the 2015 Malayalam blockbuster Charlie by Martin Prakkat.
Paaru's search for Maara, a man who painted a fairy tale she heard as a child on the walls of a coastal town, drives the plot of the film.
The movie was produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallappa of Pramod Films, which acquired the remake rights in early 2016. Filming commenced in June 2018, with sporadic schedules at Kochi and Pondicherry, before wrapping up in late 2020.
The film's music is composed by Ghibran, with cinematography handled by Dinesh B. Krishnan and editing by Karthik Muthukumar.
