Madharaasi is likely to be one of the most talked-about Tamil movies of the year.

Sivakarthikeyan's long-awaited movie Madharaasi eventually came out in theaters on September 5, 2025. Rukmini Vasanth and Vidyut Jammwal play crucial roles with Sivakarthikeyan in the movie, which was directed by AR Murugadoss. It is a mix of action, romance, and psychological thrills.

People are discussing the movie's interesting plot, but they're also curious about how much the major actors and director make. This is a list of the major cast's reported takeaways.

According to a report from Times Now, Sivakarthikeyan got an amazing Rs 40 crore to play Raghuram, the major character. People say that the famous person modified his pay a lot after Amaran's achievement. Even though the producers haven't officially said so, there are rumors in the business that Sivakarthikeyan may be getting a share of the movie's profits.

Vidyut Jammwal, a Bollywood action star, returned to playing a bad guy in Madharaasi. This was his second time working with AR Murugadoss in a negative character. People say he got Rs 4 crore to portray the scary Virat.

Rukmini Vasanth earned Rs 3 crore for her portrayal as Malathy, the female lead in Sapta Sagaradaache Ello. The actor is also getting ready for her role in the highly anticipated Kantara: Chapter 1.

Biju Menon, a well-known Malayalam actor, was included in the project. He made Rs 3 crore for his performance in Ayyappanum Koshiyum.

In the meantime, AR Murugadoss is said to have made a lot of money—Rs 30 crore—as the director of Madharaasi. This is despite the fact that his last movie, Sikandar, which starred Salman Khan, didn't fare well.

Madharaasi is about Raghuram, an orphan whose anguish leads him to join a secret operation against a crime gang. Raghu fights against more than just outside forces; he has a mental illness that makes it hard for him to tell the difference between a savior and a destroyer since it brings out his aggressive side.

Monisha Vijay, Vikranth, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prem Kumar, Sanjay, and Sachana Namidass also have key roles in the movie, which makes Murugadoss's plot even more interesting.

Because of its tremendous action, emotional plot lines, and great cast, Madharaasi is likely to be one of the most talked-about Tamil movies of the year.
