Marking Sivakarthikeyan's 40th birthday, it was officially announced that SKxARM aka SK 23 has been titled Madharasi in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Dil Madharasai in Hindi. Madharasi title teaser gives us glimpse of the action thriller in the waiting, while the Madharasi first look poster hints of Sivakarthikeyan in a high octane spy thriller story.
Madharasi has Anirudh Ravichander for music, and also stars Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jamwal, Biju Menon, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Vikranth, among others. The Madharasi title teaser reveals that while Vidyut Jamwal and Shabeer Kallarakkal play some sort of gangsters, Biju Menon and Vikranth are part of a police force.
Sivakarthikeyan gives the vibes of a prisoner, while in the first look poster he is also seen beating up prisoners. A bomb blast in Tamil Nadu seems to be the major theme of Madharasi, which is titled after an old colloquial term used by the Hindi speaking Indians for the collective South Indians, Tamil or not.
Madharasi is a production venture of Sri Lakshmi Movies, and the film's technical crew also includes Sudeep Elamon for cinematography, Sreekar Prasad for edits, Kevin Kumar for action, Arun Venjaramoodu for production design, Deepali Noor for costume design, Knack studios, Phantom FX, BeastBells for VFX, and Prime focus for DI.
