Maara marks the feature film debut of Dhilip Kumar. In 2017, he had directed a short film titled Kalki. The filmmaker earlier noted that Maara won’t be a scene-for-scene remake but a reinterpretation of director Martin Prakkat’s 2015 slice-of-life drama Charlie.
Produced by Prateek Chakravorty and Shruti Nallappa of Pramod Films, Maara also stars Sshivada Nair, Alexander Babu and Mouli.
