Facts and Behind the Scenes

Did you know Marutham is inspired by actual farmer land scams in Tamil Nadu, which the director V. Gajendran wanted to highlight after hearing real stories? They shot mostly in real villages to keep it authentic, wrapping up quickly to hit the October release. The first look came out in January 2025, showing Vidaarth in a intense farmer getup, and not many folks know the team consulted actual farmers for dialogues to make it sound real.

Another cool bit is that this is V. Gajendran’s take on social issues after years in comedy films, blending drama with his style. The trailer dropped in September 2025 on YouTube, getting buzz for its raw promo, and insiders say they kept reshoots minimal by rehearsing a lot on set. Most people aren’t aware that the auction scene was based on a 2010s case, adding that extra layer of truth to the fight scenes.
