Meanwhile, Sivakarthikeyan is over the moon to collaborate with AR Murugadoss for the first time. Talking to India Today he stated, "Madharaasi' isn't a full-fledged comedy film. It's a Murugadoss film, and I am in it. If we try to balance it, then we'd get stuck. It's only fair that I need to fit into his style of filmmaking. I've not done this kind of intense action before. 'Amaran' was a biopic with more of a gunfight, but 'Madharasi' is a commercial mass entertainer".
