Initially named as SK22, the bilingual film is now titled Maaveeran in Tamil and Mahaveerudu in Telugu. The short clip begins with Sivakarthikeyan being brutally beaten by a gang. Just as assailants are about to head back leaving him bruised and battered, Sivakarthikeyan rises and fights back. The actor is controlled by the shadow of a giant hand like a puppet.

A few reports also claimed that director Mysskin had expressed interest to play the antagonist in this film.
Philomin Raj is handling editing for the film while cinematography will be done by Vidhu Ayyanna. Music composer Bharath Sankar has been roped in for the project. Arun Viswa of Shanthi Talkies has bankrolled the film.
Film’s director Madonne gained fame for his work in Mandela, his last outing. It was released on April 4 last year. The film’s success has also increased the audiences’ expectations of this Sivakarthikeyan film.
