The much-anticipated Tamil action thriller **Madharaasi**, featuring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, is all set for its OTT debut. Fans can watch the film on **Amazon Prime Video starting October 1**. The movie will be available in multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, catering to a wide audience across India.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker **AR Murugadoss**, Madharaasi boasts a star-studded cast featuring **Rukmini Vasanth**, **Biju Menon**, and **Vidyut Jammwal**, among others. The film blends high-octane action with a gripping psychological storyline, making it a unique addition to Sivakarthikeyan’s filmography.
### The Storyline: A Psychological Action Thriller
Madharaasi revolves around **Raghu**, an engineer who suffers from a rare psychological condition known as **Fregoli delusion**. Raghu is recruited by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to thwart a gun smuggling operation in Tamil Nadu.
For context, the **Cleveland Clinic** describes Fregoli syndrome as “the belief that a stranger or acquaintance is someone you know in disguise,” a condition that induces paranoia, anxiety, and agitation. The film intricately portrays Raghu’s struggle as his disorder becomes both his greatest vulnerability and his unexpected strength during the high-stakes mission.
### Box Office and Reception
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Madharaasi has been a commercial success, reportedly grossing over **₹97.69 crore worldwide**. This makes it Sivakarthikeyan’s fourth highest-grossing film after **Amaran**, **Don**, and **Doctor**.
### Director and Lead Actor on Madharaasi
Speaking about the film, director **AR Murugadoss** said,
*“With Madharaasi, I wanted to explore the fascinating intersection of the human mind and the world of high-stakes action. Raghu’s journey is at once emotional and thrilling, his disorder becoming both his greatest vulnerability and his most unexpected strength.”*
Sivakarthikeyan added,
*“Madharaasi is unlike anything I’ve attempted before. Playing Raghu was both a challenge and a revelation.”*
