Vadivelu also won a thumping round of applause from the viewers when Maamannan was released in the Kalyan theatre located in the Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu. Many thought that Vadivelu should be conferred with the National Award for his class apart performance.
Maamannan revolves around a Dalit MLA Maamannan from Kasipuram (played by Vadivelu) and his son Adhiveeran, fondly called Veeran (Stalin). They are not on talking terms for a long time because Maamannan was not able to protect Veeran from upper-caste attacks. How Veeran takes it upon himself to fight the upper caste atrocities forms the core theme of Maamannan. Fahadh Faasil, Keerthy Suresh, Koushik Mahata, Raveena Ravi, and Amir Ali Shaik also comprise the star cast of this film. Filmmaker AR Murugadoss has also made a brief appearance in this movie backed by Stalin’s production house Red Giant Movies.
Maamannan is inching closer to the Rs 50 crore mark at the box office in India and is expected to have steady growth in the coming weekend.
