Initially scheduled to release during Pongal 2013, the film faced several setbacks, including production issues, financial constraints and distribution struggles. Directed by Sundar C, who is known for his expertise in providing crowd-pleasing entertainment, the film created a lot of buzz when it was first announced, but remained in limbo for over a decade.

Madha Gaja Raja is a comedy-action entertainer that focuses on Raja, a lively young man who gets caught in a web of misunderstandings and family drama, with hilarious consequences. Vishal plays the lead role, while Santhanam’s witty one-liners and impeccable comic timing are the standout features of the film.

The supporting cast includes Anjali, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar and Prakash Raj, all of whom have given memorable performances. The music, composed by Vijay Antony, complements the energetic tone of the film, with the songs becoming a nostalgic trip for fans.
