Following the success of his previous films like “Viduthalai,” “Kottukkaali,” and “Garudan,” actor Soori returns in the lead role of “Maman,” directed by Prasanth Pandiraj. The film, which hit theatres on May 16, revolves around the emotional depth of the maternal uncle (Thaai Maaman) relationship and complex family ties. The cast includes Aishwarya Lekshmi, Baba Bhaskar, Rajkiran, Viji Chandrasekhar, and Geetha Kailasam.

In response to the film’s release, Soori shared an emotional video on social media. In the video, a young girl shares how watching the film reminded her of her own beloved uncle, bringing tears to her eyes. Soori expressed his heartfelt joy, calling it a “special review,” and extended his love and best wishes to the girl’s uncle through the emotional connection the film created.

The film is described as a melodrama that touches upon the importance and intimacy of family relationships, though some felt that certain emotions in the narrative seemed a bit forced. Nonetheless, Soori appreciated the emotional impact it had on audiences, especially young viewers who felt a personal connection to the story.

Soori posted the touching video and message on his 'X' (formerly Twitter) profile, noting how happy he was that the film could evoke such strong feelings and memories.

இது எனக்கு ஒரு ஸ்பெஷல் ரிவ்யூ!
“மாமன்” படம் பார்த்த பிறகு, இந்த பாப்பா தன்னுடைய தாய்மாமாவை ரொம்பவே மிஸ் பண்ணுறா…

இதுபோன்ற உணர்வுகளை வெளிப்படுத்தக்கூடிய ஒரு தருணம் கிடைத்தது என்பது ரொம்பவே சந்தோஷமாக இருக்கு.
