"Madharasi," an upcoming Tamil action thriller directed by AR Murugadoss, featuring Sivakarthikeyan, with a release date of September 5, 2025, exactly 90 days from the post date, marking their first collaboration in a film shot across Chennai and Pondicherry.
The movie’s title, "Madharasi" (Man from Madras), subtly nods to a historical slur for Tamil people from North India, adding cultural depth, while its multilingual release (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi) reflects a strategic push to challenge regional cinema boundaries, backed by a robust distribution network.
Anirudh Ravichander’s soundtrack, informed by his successful prior works with the lead and director, leverages psychological research on music’s role in enhancing emotional engagement, potentially boosting the film’s appeal based on studies like those in the Journal of Consumer Research (2019) on audio-visual impact.
