Mahaveeryar stars Asif Ali, Lalu Alex, Siddique, Lal and Shanvi Srivastava in other major roles. The film has been lauded by many as a daring experiment. Though the response was largely encouraging, many could not comprehend the film's open-ended climax following which the makers recently tweaked the climax.
Mari Selvaraj meanwhile is working on Maamannan, which stars Udhayanidhi Stalin, Fahadh Faasil, Keerthy Suresh and Vadivelu as the leads. The director will next be teaming up with Dhruv Vikram for a sports-based film.
