The Vishal and Santhanam-starring movie Madha Gaja Raja is finally gearing up for release after a 12-year delay. The action-comedy, directed by Sundar C, is set to hit the big screens for Pongal 2025.

As per a recent tweet by actor Santhanam on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the film will be released on January 12, 2025.

The much-delayed project Madha Gaja Raja, starring Vishal in the lead role, was initially slated for release during Pongal 2013. However, due to financial troubles, the movie remained unreleased for over a decade.

Now, after 12 years, the makers are finally set to release the film in theaters during the Pongal weekend. The movie is expected to be an entertaining action-comedy, packed with high-octane emotions.

In addition, Arya and Sadha make special cameo appearances in the film. Directed by Sundar C and Venkat Raghavan, the movie’s music is composed by Vijay Antony, marking his second collaboration with Vishal after Vedi.

On Vishal’s work front, the actor was last seen in Rathnam, directed by Hari. This action-drama marked the third collaboration between the actor and director after Thaamirabharani and Poojai. The film focuses on an MLA’s henchman trying to protect a medical student from trouble, with actors like Priya Bhavani Shankar, Samuthirakani, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Yogi Babu, Murali Sharma, Hareesh Peradi, and many more in key roles.
