Talking about his character in the film at the press meet held in Chennai today, Sivakarthikeyan said, "Just like how Doctor had me in a different role, my character arc in Maaveeran is a unique one, this time around in the fantasy action genre, set in a realistic backdrop. I had to unlearn a lot of things to fulfull Madonne Ashwin's vision.

Sivakarthikeyan also stated that a film is a team's responsibility and not a one-man show. "Sometimes when we think of an idea, it might not end up working, just like my last film (Prince, which turned out to be a box office failure). If a film fails, I will take responsibility for it. If it turns out to be a hit, the credit goes to the entire team.
