Silambarasan's Maanaadu to release in theatres 

The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic left no choice for the filmmakers and almost all the movies during this time had to be released on OTT platforms. Now with the number of cases decreasing every day, makers are hopeful for a theatrical release soon. Maanaadu's producer Suresh Kamatchi also officially announced that the Silambarasan starrer would get a theatrical release, before being streamed on OTT platforms. It is expected that the makers will come up with more updates regarding the film’s release in the upcoming days.
