Sivakarthikeyan’s action thriller Madharaasi directed by AR Murugadoss is now out in theatres. The movie received mixed reviews from critics and word of mouth is also no different. After posting good numbers (Tamil version) over the weekend the movie dropped on weekdays.
In an interview AR Murugadoss revealed that he initially planned climax with heroine’s death. He said, “Original climax ends with Malathy (Rukmini)’s death. Raghu didn’t help others when Malathy disappeared from his life. Will he help now when she’s no more? Yes, he will. That was the climax.”
However the climax was altered half way through the shoot since Murugadoss felt the protagonist’s value becomes weaker if he couldn’t save his girlfriend. This revelation came as a surprise for fans. Vidyut Jammwal played the antagonist. Produced by Sri Lakshmi Movies, the film’s features music by Anirudh Ravichander.
