Talking about the OTT release of Madharaasi, director AR Murugadoss said, “With Madharaasi, I wanted to explore the fascinating intersection of the human mind and the world of high-stakes action. Raghu’s journey is at once emotional and thrilling—his disorder becoming both his greatest vulnerability and his most unexpected strength. Collaborating with Sivakarthikeyan, Anirudh, and such a remarkable cast and crew elevated the film in every way.”
Sivakarthikeyan added, “Madharaasi is unlike anything I’ve attempted before. Playing Raghu, a man caught between reality and delusion, was both a challenge and a revelation. His vulnerability, courage, and the unpredictability of his journey pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best possible way. Working with Murugadoss sir has been nothing short of a dream—his vision and precision uncovered layers in the story I hadn’t imagined.”
