Madhavan is returning to Kollywood after a gap of four years with "Irudhi Suttru", which has been simultaneously made in Hindi as "Saala Khadoos". It is written and directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad.
"Irudhi Suttru" is a sports-drama, which also has Ritika Singh, Mumtaz Sorcar, Nassar, Radha Ravi, Kaali Venkat and others in the cast. The film has Santhosh Narayanan's music, Sivakumar Vijayan's cinematography and Sathish Suriya's editing.
The movie narrates the story of two boxers who come together on a dream of winning a gold for India in boxing. Prabhu Selvaraj (Madhavan) has a painful past where his own men cheat him from accomplishing his goal of winning the gold medal.
Prabhu's dream gets a new lease of life after he turns a coach and discovers the talent in Madhi, a fiery young woman played by Ritika Singh. Their journey towards the impossible task and whether their uncompromising attitude and straight forwardness help them in their path form the crux of the story.
