Tamil watchlist: Vijay Sethupathi’s ‘Maharaja’ is the sole known release this June

Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 was also originally slated for June release but has been pushed by a month for reasons unknown.

This means the only known release of June will be Vijay Sethupathi’s  5oth film—Maharaja.

Let’s check out the Tamil watchlist for June 2024:

Anjaamai

One of the confirmed releases of June is SP Subburaman’s Anjaamai, a story of a father and a lawyer fighting for the abolition of NEET exams.

The film’s trailer was released on 28 May and it was hard-hitting and powerful.

The trailer features Vidaarth as a theater artist and Vani Bhojan as his wife. Their son is an extremely bright student who struggles to clear the NEET exam for medicine.

When all his options run out, we see Vidaarth taking the services of Rahman, a lawyer, to fight against the need for NEET.

Produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, the makers are yet to officially announce the release date. However, it has been confirmed that the film will hit the screens this June.

Presenting the official trailer of #Anjaamai. A story of sacrifice and hope. Watch now

Maharaja

Vijay Sethupathi’s highly anticipated 50th film—Maharaja, is confirmed to hit the screens on 13 June.

Directed by Nithilan Swaminathan of Kurangu Bommai (2017) fame, the Tamil flick also casts Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, and Natarajan Subramaniam.

Last September (2023), the makers released the first-look poster of Maharaja.

Haraa

Haraa is set for release in theatres on 7 June, alongside Sathyaraj-Vasanth Ravi’s Weapon.

The makers revealed that the film has successfully passed censorship requirements, securing a U/A certificate.

Featuring Anumol as the leading lady, Haraa is both written and directed by Vijay Sri G.

As per the makers, the Tamil film aims to raise awareness about IPC sections and important concepts such as distinguishing between good touch and bad touch.

It marks Mohan’s return to the silver screen, after his last appearance in 2008’s Sutta Kozhi.

Haraa also features the nonagenarian actor Charuhasan in a significant role. The supporting cast includes Yogi Babu, Singam Puli, Deepa, Mime Gopi, Chaams, and Santhosh Prabhakar.

Director Vijay Sri G, known for his works like Dha Dha 87 (2019) and Powder (2022), persuaded Mohan to take on the lead role in his action film.

Vijay Sri stated that Mohan had received numerous offers from various directors, but none of them piqued his interest until he came across the script of Haraa.

Bankrolled by Kovai SP Mohanraj and Jayasree Vijay, the movie has editing by Guna, music by Rashaanth Arwin, and cinematography by Mano Dinakaran and Prahath Muniyasami.
