The film industry is full of surprises. One film can change a person’s career overnight. Director A R Murugadoss, once known for blockbusters like Ghajini, has not been in great form in recent years. His recent Hindi film Sikandar with Salman Khan turned out to be a huge failure. While many blamed Salman, it was clear that the film lacked strong content.
Now, Murugadoss is ready to try again with a new Tamil film. His latest project, Madarasi, will be released on 5 September. The film stars popular actor Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role. Since it is his next film after Amaran, the business side has already been positive.
The teaser and trailer of Madarasi suggest that Murugadoss has attempted something different this time. The story follows a hero who cannot tolerate injustice. He finds himself fighting against a terrorist gang that wants to enter Tamil Nadu. How he stops them, and the mystery behind the link between the terrorists and the people of Madras, will be revealed in the film.
Though the trailer did not create a “wow” factor, the action sequences and visuals looked promising. The background score is by Anirudh Ravichander, which adds to the expectations. Actress Rukmini Vasanth, who recently gained popularity with the Sapta Sagaradaache Ello films, plays the female lead.
Murugadoss recently remarked that Tamil directors are not only entertainers but also educators for the audience. Fans are curious to see how he plans to bring that idea into Madarasi. At the same time, they hope Sivakarthikeyan’s star power can help the director get back on the success track.
With strong action, a relevant theme and a talented cast, Madarasi could be the film that revives Murugadoss’s career. The audience will soon decide if the director has managed to regain his lost glory.
