Madharasi
Madharasi is also arriving on September 5. It is a pan-Indian collaboration written and directed by A. R. Murugadoss and produced by N. Srilakshmi Prasad under the Sri Lakshmi Movies banner.
Vidyut Jammwal stars in this film (in the role of Sivakarthikeyan) as the antagonist. Rukmini Vasanth makes her Tamil debut through this film.

The action sequences are choreographed by Kevin Kumar, and Anirudh Ravichander does the music composition.
The film Madharasi brings a blend of romance and action. The teaser trailer released on Sivakarthikeyan’s 40th birthday features a dramatic sequence with a high-speed car crash and a glimpse of him facing off against armed adversaries. These sequences signal intense visuals and creative storytelling. Though it has a unique narrative twist, a comparison to Ghajini can be drawn.

Bayaan
Bayaan marks its world premiere on September 7 at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in the prestigious Discovery section.

In her first case, she investigates allegations against a revered cult leader accused via an anonymous letter of sexual misconduct. As she digs deeper, she grapples with entrenched power structures, institutional complicity, and cultural resistance.
This female-led police procedural film is produced by Platoon One Films, led by Shiladitya Bora. The co-producers include Summit Studios (Madhu Sharma), Kunal Kumar, Anuj Gupta, and Switzerland-based Guidant Films (Sadik Keshwani).
