Maaveeran is directed by Madonne Ashwin, who recently won the National Award for Best Debut Director for the film Mandela, which was released on Netflix. Talking to Indian Express about the win, Ashwin said, “Definitely happy about it. We all knew Suriya sir will win the Best Actor award even before the announcement. It is a much-deserved victory. Director Sudha Kongara mam also received many accolades for Soorarai Pottru.”

The teaser of Maaveeran piqued the interest of fans as it had Sivakarthikeyan as a puppet in a fight sequence. The actor was controlled by an unknown entity, which according to the director is a metaphor for the story of the film.

Meanwhile, Aditi Shankar is in Madurai for the grand audio launch of Viruman. The event also has her father Shankar in attendance as a chief guest. The Enthiran director is all set to receive a second honorary doctorate. He was conferred an honorary doctorate in 2007. Now, Vels University has announced another doctorate for the director.
