Interesting facts

Maayan is a 2001 Indian Tamil-language drama film, directed by Nassar. The film stars himself, Roja and Vindhya, while Thalaivasal Vijay, Ranjitha and Vadivelu among others form an ensemble cast. Music for the film was composed by Deva and the film was released on 14 September 2001.

Production

Nassar had originally planned only to direct the film, but after his initial choices for the lead actor – Prashanth and Ajith Kumar – pulled out, he chose to also portray the lead role. As a result, the film's production was delayed by over a year from early 1999. Actress Ranjitha made a comeback to acting with Maayan, after taking a three-year sabbatical post-marriage.

The first schedule of the shooting was held at Chennai and Chengelpet. The second schedule was then held at Tiruvannamalai and the forests of Thalaikonam.
