'Maaveeran, featuring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, is doing well in cinema, and the film is having a great occupancy in its second week of theatrical run. Directed by Madonne Ashwin, Sivakarthikeyan has delivered an exceptional performance in the superhero film, and the film's story and screenplay have also impressed fans. But the latest report on social media claims that Sivakarthikeyan's 'Maaveeran' story is similar to the 2006 Hollywood film 'Stranger than Fiction'. However, the film's screenplay didn't match the film; otherwise, Maaveeran' should have been claimed as a copy of the Hollywood film.

One more interesting fact is that Madonne Ashwin's National Award-winning directorial debut, Mandela, is also said to be inspired by the Hollywood film 'Swing Vote'. However, the director has not opened up about the accusations that his films were inspired by Hollywood films.

'Maaveeran' features Sivakarthikeyan and Aditi Shankar in lead roles, with Mysskin, Saritha, Yogi Babu, and Monisha Blessy, among others, in pivotal roles. The fantasy thriller has grossed over Rs 75 crore at the box office, and the makers have officially confirmed the film's box office achievement with a new poster. As the film still looks solid at the box office, 'Maaveeran' is expected to break into the Rs 100 crore club to become Sivakarthikeyan's third film to achieve the mark.
