Tamil action thriller **Madharaasi**, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, is set to make its OTT debut on Amazon Prime Video on **October 1**. The film will be available in multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, making it accessible to a wide audience.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker **AR Murugadoss**, Madharaasi boasts a star-studded cast featuring **Rukmini Vasanth, Biju Menon, Vidyut Jammwal**, and others.
### What’s the Story?
Madharaasi revolves around Raghu, an engineer who suffers from a rare psychological disorder called **Fregoli delusion**. Raghu is recruited by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to help thwart gun smuggling operations in Tamil Nadu.
For context, **Fregoli syndrome** is a condition in which a person believes that strangers or acquaintances are actually people they know in disguise. This syndrome often causes paranoia, anxiety, and agitation, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Despite receiving mixed reviews, Madharaasi has performed well at the box office, grossing over **₹97.69 crore worldwide**. This makes it Sivakarthikeyan’s fourth-highest grosser after *Amaran*, *Don*, and *Doctor*.
### Director and Lead Actor on the Film
Speaking about Madharaasi, 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 shared his thoughts on playing Raghu:
*”Madharaasi is unlike anything I’ve attempted before. Playing Raghu was both a challenge and a revelation.”*
