Sivakarthikeyan's Maaveeran prepones its release plans, all set to hit the screens on THIS date

The makers of Maaveeran had announced recently that the film will be released on August 11. Fans of Sivakarthikeyan were elated about the news and had pinned high hopes on the action drama helmed by Madonne Ashwin. However, after the team of Jailer, starring Rajinikanth in the titular role announced its release on August 10, there were reports of the former choosing another date.

Movie buffs thought that there would be a clash between the two films. Siva was asked about the same in a press meet recently and the actor said that he was waiting for the announcement of the Superstar's film.

Now, team Maaveeran has come up with their change in plan as expected. Produced by Arun Viswa of Shanthi Talkies, the movie will now hit the screens on July 14. The bilingual flick, which is releasing in Telugu under the title Mahaveerudu, has preponed its release by almost a month.

The first single of the movie was unveiled sometime ago. Anirudh has lent voice for the song composed by Bharath Sankar. Vidhu Ayyanna and Philomin Raj have handled cinematography and editing respectively. Aditi Shankar plays the female lead in it while Yogi Babu, Mysskin, Sunil and Saritha will be seen essaying key roles.

Amazon Prime bagged the digital rights of Maaveeran a few months ago. It is going to be Siva's release after a hiatus of several months. Anudeep's Prince, which was also a bilingual project, was the actor's last outing. Since the movie failed to live up to the expectations, Maaveeran is crucial for the actor.
