After over a decade since the film was scheduled to release, director Sundar C's Madha Gaja Raja (MGR), starring Vishal and Santhanam, will at last get to see the light of the day as the makers give a release date on Friday. The comedy film will be releasing in theatres on January 12.

According to reports, a theatrical release evaded the film since 2013 due to multiple reasons such as financial restraints, clashes with other films and legal hurdles. It is worth noting that the BTS video of the song 'My Dear Loveru' from the film, featuring Vishal and music composer Vijay Antony was released in 2013 and went viral online.

The star-studded ensemble of the film features Vishal, Santhanam, Anjali, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Sathish, Sonu Sood, late Mayilsamy and Manobala, among others. Madha Gaja Raja, produced by Gemini Film Circuit, is written by Sundar C along with Venkat Raghavan, while cinematographer Richard M Nathan, editors Praveen KL and NB Srikanth, and composer Vijay Antony are part of the technical crew.
