Savir Sudhakar's Tamil web series 'Mammatiyaan Stars' to stream from June 26
Chennai, June 24
The makers of director Savir Sudhakar's upcoming sports drama series, 'Mammatiyaan Stars', have now announced that the eagerly awaited series will be streamed from June 26 this year.
The web series is to be streamed on the OTT platform Zee 5.
Directed by Savir Sudhakar and produced by Singaravelan under the banner of SS Group, the six-episode Tamil original series is a heartfelt tribute to cricket fandom and the extraordinary lengths fans go to for a sport they love.
Written by Savir Sudhakar, Naveen Rajkumar, Kalai Selvan, and Vinu Karthikeyan, the series features Vaibhav Murugesan, Lavanya Anbazhagan, Venkeda Balamurali, Jagabar Sathik, 'Naan Kadavul' Rajendran, and Vivek Prasanna in pivotal roles.
With cinematography by PM Rajkumar, editing by Pavithran, and art direction by Tamilselvan, sources close to the unit say 'Mammatiyaan Stars' will seek to capture the excitement, emotion, and camaraderie that define the culture of cricket in Tamil Nadu.
'Mammatiyaan Stars' follows a group of passionate cricket fans from a small village as they embark on an unforgettable journey to Chennai to witness their hero's final match live. What begins as a dream trip soon turns into an adventure filled with friendship, emotions, and unexpected twists.
Along the way, the group faces challenges that test their determination, while discovering that the journey itself can become just as memorable as the destination. Sources point out that at its heart, Mammatiyaan Stars will be a celebration of hope, belonging, and the powerful bond that cricket creates among people from all walks of life.
ZEE5 Senior Vice President (Marketing South and Business Head) Lloyd Xavier said, "Cricket is much more than a sport in India; it is an emotion that connects generations, communities, and countless memories. Mammatiyaan Stars beautifully captures the passion of fans and the lengths they are willing to go to experience a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The series is rooted in relatable characters, heartfelt emotions, and an authentic portrayal of fandom, making it a story that will resonate with audiences across Tamil Nadu and beyond."
Director Savir Sudhakar said, "This series is a tribute to every cricket fan who has dreamt of watching their heroes play live. While cricket forms the backdrop, the heart of Mammatiyaan Stars lies in friendship, aspirations, and the unforgettable experiences that shape us along the way. We wanted to tell a story that feels honest, emotional, and celebratory, and we are excited for audiences to join this journey."

Finally a series that looks at fans instead of players! As someone who's watched entire test matches from start to finish in a small town, I know exactly the kind of passion they're talking about. Hope it captures the spirit of Tamil Nadu cricket culture authentically. 🙌
Looks intriguing! I'm not a huge cricket fan but the premise about a journey and friendship sounds universal. The director mentioning it being a tribute to fans is cool. Will give it a shot when it drops on June 26.
Tribute to cricket fandom is long overdue! But I hope they don't make it too clichéd - villagers going to city, all that. The cast looks decent though. Vaibhav Murugesan is a good actor. Let's see if the writing matches the hype. 🤞
Such a fresh concept! We always see cricket from players' perspective. But fans? The ones who travel hours, spend their savings, cry when team loses - that's real love for the game. Zee5 releasing good regional content lately. Must watch! 💙
Looks promising but 6 episodes for a story about fans going to a match? I hope they don't drag it unnecessarily. The best part about cricket fandom is the raw emotion - hope they keep it real and not Bollywood-ify it. Will watch for the Tamil flavour.
