Maaveeran is reported to be a satire on the current political situation in Tamil Nadu. Sivakarthikeyan has essayed the role of a comic-strip artist living in a slum and his drawings manifest in real life. This turns into a tricky political situation with a minister named Jayakodi (played by Mysskin).
Maaveeran has a stellar star cast comprising actors like Aditi Shankar, Mysskin, Yogi Babu, Saritha, and Sunil. Produced by Arun Viswa under the Shanthi Talkies banner, Maaveeran has been released at cinema halls in Telugu and Tamil. Aditi Shankar is the daughter of renowned filmmaker Shankar and has made her debut in cinema with the role of the female lead in this film. Vijay Sethupathi has provided the voiceover for this film.
Madonne Ashwin has made a comeback to films with Maaveeran after two years. His last release as a filmmaker was Mandela, which was released on April 4, 2021. This film revolves around a local barber whose fortunes change when he becomes the single deciding vote in the village elections. Sheela Rajkumar, Sangili Murugan, Mukesh, GM Sundar and Kanna Ravi have also acted in this film.
