First pitched 'Madharaasi' to Shah Rukh Khan: Director Murugadoss
Filmmaker AR Murugadoss revealed that he first pitched idea for 'Madharaasi' to Shah Rukh Khan and not Sivakarthikeyan. He said, "I didn't plan whole film with Shah Rukh Khan, but I did pitch character to him...7-8 years ago, and even he liked it." However, he added, "The delay was very long, which is why it never materialised."
