Sikandar puts Sivakarthikeyan Madharasi under a cloud / Empuran replace Sikandar in INOX screens

We hear Salman has okayed Harish Shankar for his next but his current release Sikandar’s content has set Kollywood talking that the legendary ARM, (A R Murugadoss) has lost the game totally. Now this has cast a shadow on the film Madharasi that has Sivakarthikeyan known as SK. If ARM has done SK film like Sikandar, then SKK will lose his new found Tier 1 status post Amaran. Also if you dive back into the SK film career graph, he gives one hit and on an average two flops. This time, maybe Sudha Kongara might restrict it to one flop as she kind of gets all right commercial elements to keep the guys rooting in Parasakthi SK’s action films have failed like Velaikaran, Seema Raja, Hero. Also SK from Remo usually has the 1 hit 1 flop record. Like he gives a hit like Remo then gives 2 flops with Velaikaran and Seema Raja, gave another hit with Kanaa and again gave the ultra disaster Mr. Local, he hit the bullseye with the profitable Namma Veetu Pillai then Hero’s disastrous performance spoiled his mojo, he then came back in his strong comedy genre with the super hits Doctor and Don, then struck by the horrible performance of Prince. Finally he gave a profitable film with an unique superhero movie in Maaveeran and then got hit by the long delayed Ayalaan which flopped at the box office. Now he have an all time blockbuster Amaran so IDK what will happen to Madarasi. I have very less hope on that as the producers are not even concerned to give updates for the film. I have moved to Parasakthi which is looking very promising. (AROK’s comments on SK post Sikandar ) If SK puts Madharasi in the cold storage and makes Parasakthi the next release , he can escape the disaster in the making.
