Madhavan and Ritika Singh's "Irudhi Suttru" ("Saala Khadoos" in Hindi) has drawn the attention of none other than boxing legend Mike Tyson, who has evinced interest in watching the multilingual flick.

On his Facebook page, he shared a review published by a leading daily about the film and wrote: "I'd like to see this boxing film." His response was welcomed warmly by his Indian followers on the social networking site. It has to be seen whether the makers of the movie respond to his wish by arranging a special screening.

Mike Tyson's post is likely to have a positive impact on "Irudhi Suttru", which is already basking in the glow of the good words from critics and viewers. Both versions of the film were released last Friday, 29 January, and performed well at the box office.
