29/09/2014

Karthi has made a stupendous comeback with Madras, Fans and critics alike have been absolutely raving about the film and its realistic portal of North Madras. Now there is a buzz going around that Director Pa.Ranjith initially narrated the script to actor Jiiva but due to certain unknown reasons he opted out of the film. 

Sources also add that the film's script was initially sent to Karthi only to get an opinion on the script, but once he read the script Karthi immediately approached Ranjith and expressed his desire to play the lead role. The film was interestingly first titled as Kaali but later changed to Madras.
