Shane Nigam's Madraskaaran, which was announced earlier last year, finally has a release date. Helmed by Vaali Mohan Das who debuted with the coming-of-age drama Rangoli in 2023, Madraskaaran is set for a release on January 10, filling in the slot after Vidaamuyarchi's exit from the Pongal race.
Madraskaaran, which marks Shane Nigam's debut in Tamil cinema, also stars Kalaiyarasan, Niharika Konidela, Aishwarya Dutta, Karunas, and Pandiarajan. The film will be Niharika's second Tamil project after Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren (2018). In an earlier interview with CE, writer-director Vaali said that the film revolves around the consequences of an ego clash between two people and that it centres on the idea of "how a negligible incident completely changes a person's life."
Madraskaaran is touted as an action thriller along the lines of Prithviraj Sukumaran's Ayyappanum Koshiyum and Driving Licence, as well as Shane's own Ishq. The film went on floors in February 2024 and wrapped shoot in June. It has cinematography by Prasanna S Kumar, editing by R Vasanthakumar, and music by Sam CS. The film is produced by B Jagadish through SR Productions.
