About Madharaasi

Madharaasi also stars Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, and Rukmini Vasanth. The film tells the story of Raghu Ram (Sivakarthikeyan), who suffers from Fregoli delusion after witnessing a personal tragedy. The delusion makes him constantly endanger himself to rescue others. Prem (Biju Menon) decides to use Raghu to bring down a cartel supplying illegal weapons to Tamil Nadu, believing he has nothing to lose. In his pursuit, Raghu has to face off the smart antagonist Virat (Vidyut).

The film also reunites the actor and the filmmaker, who have previously worked in the 2014 Tamil sports comedy film Maan Karate. Murugadoss served as producer and writer for the project.

Rajinikanth was last seen in Coolie, the gangster drama directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film underperformed at the box office upon release.
