The Karthik Subbaraj-Santhosh Narayanan duo has been a successful combo over the years having collaborated previously in films Pizza (2012), Jigarthanda (2014), Iraivi (2016), Mercury (2018), Jagame Thandhiram (2021), and Mahaan (2022). Fans once again are expecting the hit composer to deliver yet another foot-tapping album and the hint that the Jigarthanda DoubleX first single 'Maamadura' will be a dance track will undoubtedly come as exciting news. The buzz surrounding the upcoming film has been huge right from the get-go after it was revealed that Raghava Lawrence and S J Suryah would be sharing the screen, with the visuals unveiled so far receiving a thunderous response.
Set during the 1970s-80s period, Jigarthanda DoubleX revolves around the lives of a gangster played by Raghava Lawrence and S J Suryah, who appears as a filmmaker. The film's intriguing and action-packed teaser released last month shot up the excitement tenfold, with many leading names in the Tamil film fraternity complimenting the team for the action-packed visuals they had presented. Scheduled to be releasing in theatres worldwide in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi languages, Jigarthanda DoubleX is reported to be a standalone sequel to Karthik Subbaraj's Jigarthanda starring Siddharth and Bobby Simha, which went on to become a massive commercial success, while also receiving immense praise from critics and fans alike.
