*”‘Blackmail’ will be a film that combines thrill, surprise and entertainment, and will be celebrated with family and friends” – Director M. Maran!*
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the trailer of ‘Blackmail’ with the tagline ‘Based on your story…’ ever since it was released. Director M. Maran, who has given quality hits like ‘Iravukku Aayiram Kangal’ and ‘Kannai Nambathe’, has next directed ‘Blackmail’ starring GV Prakash Kumar in the lead role. The film will be released in theaters worldwide on August 1, 2025. The director shared his experience about the film.
“Blackmail is an inevitable, unwritten practice in human history. Sometimes it can be done for fun among friends. But, sometimes it can reveal deep secrets and many times blackmail can be life-threatening. ‘Blackmail’ revolves around multiple characters. The story is about how the protagonist deals with the problems he faces. It has a lot of thrill, surprise and entertainment. You can definitely watch this film with family and friends,” said director M. Maran.
Sharing about the actors in the film, he said, “GV Prakash Kumar’s previous films show that he is someone who gives confidence to assistant directors and directors who direct good stories. When it comes to a different story, his name comes to mind first for many. He also does not miss such stories. That is how GV Prakash Kumar came into this story. Teju Ashwini, Srikanth, Bindu Madhavi and everyone else who has acted in the film have been given important roles from the beginning to the end of the story.”
Talking about the technical team, he said, “Sam C.S. has added strength to the film with his background music. His songs have become hits among the fans. T. Imman sir’s track is also a strength to the film. Thanks to everyone who has brought the story to life. My heartfelt thanks to producer Jayakody Amalraj sir, who constantly encouraged us and did not compromise on quality despite the many challenges during the making of the film.”
