Action Sequences Reminiscent of the 80s and 90s
In recent times, Sivakarthikeyan’s fight sequences have evoked memories of Rajinikanth in the 1980s and Vijayakanth in the 1990s. His latest film Madarasi showcases this energy vividly, rekindling a nostalgic wave among fans.
The Commercial King – Tamil Cinema’s “Little Rajini”
Without any cinematic, social, or economic background, Sivakarthikeyan has carved his place at the top of Tamil cinema. His rapid success in a short span reminds audiences of Rajinikanth’s string of hits during the 1980s.

“Doctor” – A Historic Milestone
The film Doctor stands tall as one of Tamil cinema’s landmark successes. Following that, Don officially established Sivakarthikeyan as the only actor after Rajinikanth to cross the ₹100-crore mark, solidifying his place among the industry’s elite.
Quiet Triumphs Amid Online Attacks
Despite sustained online mafia-led smear campaigns, Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran emerged as a groundbreaking success. Both Sony Pictures and Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films openly acknowledged this achievement—making it a rare industry statement.
From Amaran to Madarasi – A Journey of Victories
After the thunderous success of Amaran, Madarasi has set new pre-release booking records, even without aggressive promotions. This speaks volumes about Sivakarthikeyan’s growing box-office power.
The A.R. Murugadoss Collaboration
Having delivered blockbusters like Darbar (Rajinikanth), Ramana (Vijayakanth), Ghajini (Suriya), and Thuppakki (Vijay), director A.R. Murugadoss teaming up with Sivakarthikeyan has stirred nationwide anticipation.
A New Wave in Action Cinema
Just as Rajinikanth in the 1980s and Vijayakanth in the 1990s electrified fans with their action-packed performances, Sivakarthikeyan is now bringing back that thrill. Reports suggest that Madarasi features high-voltage fight sequences designed to set screens ablaze.
Sivakarthikeyan continues to reinforce his title as Tamil cinema’s “Little Rajinikanth,” with back-to-back commercial successes. After historic blockbusters like Doctor, Don, and Amaran, he now brings back the action intensity of the 80s and 90s through Madarasi.
