Watch: Vikram is back with Mahaan; fans praise the trailer

Hyderabad: The much-awaited trailer of 'Mahaan', starring Vikram and Dhruv, is out and it looks absolutely fantastic. The film is skipping theatrical release and is releasing directly on Amazon Prime Video on 10 February.

Directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by Lalit Kumar under the banner Seven Screen Studio, this action-packed drama boasts a stellar cast, including Bobby Simha and Simran. 'Mahaan' will be available to viewers in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu. In Kannada, the film is titled 'Maha Purusha'.

'Mahaan' is one of the most-awaited Tamil films. Also, Vikram was last seen on screen around three years ago and fans of the actor have been waiting to watch him on screen.

The fast-paced trailer takes us through the story of a simple man who goes through a personal crisis when his family walks out on him after he steps out of his straight-laced and principled life. He moves on without them to realize his ambitions but even as he reaches the pinnacle of success, he misses the presence of his son and wants him back in his life. What follows is an action-packed narrative with unexpected events that take him through highs and lows, changing the course of his existence.

"Are you ready to play your hand? May the best man win. Trailer out now. Watch #MahaanOnPrime, Feb 10 @Karthiksubbaraj @7Screenstudio #SSLalitKumar #DhruvVikram @simranbaggaOffc @Actorsimha #Sananth @ActorMuthukumar @rdeepakparamesh @Music_Santhosh @Kshreyaas @vivekharshan (sic)," tweeted Amazon Prime Video.

Vikram, who plays the titular role, said, "Mahaan will have the audiences hooked throughout with its perfect blend of action and drama, balanced by intense emotions. My character in the movie has multiple shades and it was very interesting to transition from one emotion to another as the story progressed. It is, of course, also an extra special film for me – one, as I reach a milestone in my cinematic journey with this being my 60th film, and secondly, as my son Dhruv Vikram is playing my reel-life son in it. He has worked very hard for this role, and I am very proud of him. Also working with a director as talented as Kartik Subbaraj, who has this exact vision for what he wants as an end result, is always a pleasure. I am delighted that Mahaan is launching on Prime Video and that it will reach viewers across the globe, starting 10 February."

Karthik Subbaraj, who is directing the film, said, "Mahaan is a labour of love for me with a strong cast and crew supporting me by giving their very best. It is always a delight to work with Vikram, and Mahaan has been extra-special, as it is the 60th movie in his expansive and impressive career."

He added, "The movie has also given me the opportunity to bring together and direct the dynamic father-son duo of Vikram and Dhruv in their first onscreen appearance together ever. I am confident that fans and audiences are going to love seeing them light up the screens with their own unique brands of creativity moving in perfect harmony with each other. I am looking forward to Mahaan premiering on Amazon Prime Video and reaching a much wider audience across the globe."
