Astro Introduces a New Wave of Local Tamil Premieres

Astro, Malaysia’s leading content and entertainment company is bringing viewers even more homegrown Tamil premieres including Manam, Raja Rani, Thural, and more across all Astro platforms. In line with these new premieres, Vinmeen’s exclusive series slot has been extended from 30 minutes to a full hour —treating Malaysians with two back‑to‑back local favourites. All Malaysians can enjoy these captivating local Tamil premieres on Astro Vinmeen (Ch 202) via TV, Astro GO, On Demand, and sooka at 9.30pm, every Monday until Thursday. Beyond enhancing the viewer experience, this expansion also creates more opportunities for local talents and production teams to showcase compelling, high‑quality stories that truly resonates with Malaysians.

Manam, adapted from Astro’s signature local Malay series Layang-Layang Perkahwinan, follows Sheena – a devoted wife supporting her husband Varun’s rise in the company. However, cracks begin to appear in their marriage when Varun’s behaviour shifts dramatically. His frequent late nights and excuses raise Sheena’s suspicions, eventually leading her to a painful truth: his infidelity. Despite pressure and consequences from her influential in law family, Sheena finds the strength to stand up for herself. Directed by SD Puvanendran and produced by Seelan Manoheran, Manam features a strong local and international cast including Jayshree, Surrya Prakash, Subashini, Seelan Manoheran, Mathialagan, Ashwini Nambiar, and more. Catch new episodes of Manam now premiering every Monday to Thursday, 9.30pm on Astro Vinmeen (Ch 202) via TV, Astro GO, On Demand and sooka.

Raja Rani follows Aadhi who faces emotional turmoil when past love, Swetha returns seeking help, and threatening his marriage to Kanmani. Torn between loyalty and compassion, Aadhi confronts love, betrayal, and moral dilemmas in this gripping drama series. Directed by Gautham Thangavel and produced by Prakash Subramaniam, this family drama series stars debut and renowned local artistes including Sathisvaran, Devakanni and Chandnine Kaur. Raja Rani is set to premiere in March 2026.

Thural, on the other hand, follows Lakshmi, a career driven woman balancing work and caregiving responsibilities. Her plan to marry her son, Arjun, to Sandhya sparks family conflict, and tensions escalate when Sandhya’s pregnancy adds further complexity—unfolding a story of love, sacrifice, and hidden family dynamics. Directed by C. Kumaresan, Thural features popular local talents including Preetha Prasad, Thevaguru, and Pashini Sivakumar. Thural will premiere in May 2026.

Enjoy all these new premieres on Vinmeen’s exclusive series slot, Monday to Thursday at 9.30pm on Astro Vinmeen (Ch 202) via TV, Astro GO, On Demand and sooka.
