3 April 2013-Mariyaan’s first promo, which released a few days ago on YouTube, has got more than 2 lakh hits in just 48 hours. It was revealed on internet after the first look was officially released for Holi last month. The video shows Dhanush as Mariyaan with a spear in his hand diving into deep sea in one breath and hunting on the seabed.
The video has gathered a lot of excitement and buzz. It was filmed in Andaman, 50 feet below the ocean in the seabed. Dhanush, a non-swimmer was trained under a specialised international team of divers. He then took up this breath-taking feat like an ace swimmer and surprised even the divers. It is said that this sequence in the film establishes Mariyaan as a unique fisherman. The caption reads, ‘He who conquers the ocean in one breath’.
