Sikandar vs. Madharasi: Which Film Will Boost Murugadoss’ Career?

After Shankar in Kollywood, A.R. Murugadoss is known for blending strong social messages with commercial entertainment. His film Ghajini was a turning point in his career followed by successful projects like Stalin, 7aum Arivu, Thuppakki and Kaththi. But career faced setbacks with Spyder and Darbar which failed to impress audiences.

Despite these failures, Murugadoss has secured two major films Sikandar starring Salman Khan and Madharasi with Sivakarthikeyan. While these projects are crucial for his comeback, Sikandar’s teaser has received negative feedback. Fans believe the film lacks his signature style raising concerns about its potential success.

Meanwhile, Sivakarthikeyan's Madharasi carries high expectations especially after his previous blockbuster Amaran. Fans were initially worried about Murugadoss' recent track record, but the teaser of Madharasi has reassured them. The visuals and storytelling appear far superior to Sikandar marking a noticeable difference in the lead actors' approaches.

While Salman Khan’s laid-back acting style might not align with Murugadoss’ vision, Sivakarthikeyan's dedication could make Madharasi a stronger film. As Sikandar faces early criticism, Murugadoss must prove his directorial skills to revive his standing in the industry.
