== Early life ==
Ilancheran was born to Mani, a political orator for [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]]. Ilancheran changed his name to Maaran for his career. Later, he joined the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|Communist Party]], and he was interested in [[communist art]]. He also painted communist paintings in his area, which led his father to feel he was against his father's ideology.<ref name="cinemavikatan.com" /> So he changed his thoughts and later worked in a ration shop before entering the television acting industry.

== Career ==
He started his career as an art director for television shows. After that, he got a chance to act in the television shows ''Comedy Bazaar'' and ''[[Lollu Sabha]].''<ref name="cinemavikatan.com" /> After gaining popularity through his television comedy shows, ''Lollu Sabha'' and ''Comedy Bazaar'', he acted as a comedian in many films after making his debut with ''[[Student Number 1]]'' (2003).

In 2014, after acting in [[C. S. Amudhan]]'s ''[[Rendavathu Padam]]'', he made his directorial debut with the film ''Iraimagan''. but due to financial problems, he approached his friend [[Santhanam (actor)|Santhanam]] to refer a producer. The film was later shelved. However, at the time, the ''Lollu Sabha'' duo Muruganand (Murugan and Prem Anand) were making their debut as film directors with the film ''[[Inimey Ippadithan]]''. They asked him to help with the additional improvements to the dialogues, so he worked on that film.

In 2016, his friend Mahendran Rajamani also made his directorial debut with a film named ''[[Enakku Vaaitha Adimaigal]]''. Mahendran offered a supporting role in the film. So Maaran acted and also wrote the lyrics for one song. After that, he acted as a comedian in many films with Santhanam. In 2021, ''[[Dikkiloona]]'' was released on [[ZEE5]]. The film received mostly negative reviews, and the dialogues of Maaran were praised. And then he got chances to act in more films like ''[[Naai Sekar]]'', ''[[Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal]]'', and ''[[Naai Sekar Returns]]''.
