After being shelved for 13 years, Madha Gaja Raja, directed by Sundar C of Aranmanai fame, is finally gearing up for release. The film stars Vishal, known for hits like Mark Antony, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Santhanam, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Anjali.
Although completed over a decade ago, the movie’s release was delayed indefinitely until now. On January 3, 2025, it was officially announced that the film would hit screens on January 12, 2025, adding an unexpected twist to the festive lineup.

Madha Gaja Raja is produced by Gemini Film Circuit, with Vishal Film Factory handling distribution. Two trailers, which were originally posted 11 years ago, are still available on YouTube, and will be linked below. According to reports, these trailers were first released in 2011. The film’s song Thumbakki Thumbai also gained popularity back in the day. The movie falls under the genres of comedy, action, and drama, and from the look of the trailers, it appears to be a typical Sundar C venture, brimming with his signature style.
