The film has the director himself playing a pivotal role, while the other cast members include Vinay, Santhanam, Nithin Satya, Kovai Sarala and Manobala.

The horror comedy film received decent reviews from the critics, while the audience seems to have liked it, which is evident from the collections. "Aranmanai," which had a wide release in Tamil Nadu, is expected to dominate the screens until the release of upcoming films this Friday.

Karthi's "Madras" and Vishnu Vishal's "Jeeva" are set to hit the screens on 26 September. The release of these two films might reduce the screen count for "Aranmanai," thereby affecting its business.

The comedy entertainer has minted over ₹16 lakh in its opening weekend at the Chennai box office. It needs to be seen as to how the film fares in the coming days.
