He replied, “I went to the Palani Murugan temple after Madharaasi’s release. I remember going there after my first film, Dheena, and would go there once in a while afterwards. It was important for me to do that because, in a sense, this feels like my first film again. It’s very important to me. I asked God for this movie to succeed.”He then mentioned the five-year gap in his filmography after the 2020 Rajinikanth-starrer Darbar, claiming that the COVID-19 pandemic made him nervous. “I couldn’t think straight for a year during the COVID-19 pandemic. People like me can only think of limited things at once, and back then, it felt like another World War. We didn’t even know how long it would last. It took me five years to bounce back, and I had two films that didn’t materialise, creating a gap,” he explained.AR Murugadoss’s filmographyFor the unversed, Murugadoss debuted as a director with the 2001 Ajith Kumar, Suresh Gopi and Laila-starrer Dheena.

Murugadoss even ventured into Telugu with the 2006 Chiranjeevi-starrer Stalin and the 2017 Mahesh Babu-starrer Spyder.His last film before his 2025 releases was Darbar, which collected ₹247.80 crore worldwide at the box office.
