Sivakarthikeyan Rocks the Box Office

With speculation around Vijay’s possible move away from cinema, many fans and critics see Sivakarthikeyan as the next big star of Tamil cinema. While some critics labeled him as a “sudden Thalapathy,” Sivakarthikeyan responded by humbly calling himself the “boy next door.” Following legends like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Vijay, Sivakarthikeyan is now considered one of the top box office draws in Kollywood, largely due to the success of his previous film, Maaveeran.

Positive Response for Madharaasi

After the massive performance of Maaveeran, there was considerable curiosity about how Madharaasi would fare. Though the film may not reach the same first-day heights as Maaveeran, which opened at ₹17 crore, it has managed to make a solid start with ₹12.8 crore on its opening day in Tamil Nadu alone.
