'Madharaasi' director surprised fans when he appeared in a new look in post-release interviews, with his head shaved. Regarding his next look, he said in a chat with Sudhir Srinivasan, “I prayed for this film only after my first film, 'Dheena.' I didn’t shave my head then. But 'Madharaasi' was like a first film for me again, so I fulfilled the request by shaving my head at Palani Murugan temple," he said.

‘Madharaasi,’ a make-or-break project for AR Murugadoss

AR Murugadoss gave a lot of importance to 'Madharaasi,' as it was a film that came after a gap of five years in Tamil. With many projects not being completed during the Corona period, the film he directed was delayed from being released. So, he worked with a compelling desire to make this film a success, and 'Madharaasi' has fulfilled the director's wish by transforming into his comeback film.
