Actor R. Madhavan says he wants his next Bollywood film Saala Khadoos in Tamil too.

“It was my idea to make this film in Tamil as well. Rajkumar Hirani also told me, ‘Let’s make this film in one language’, but I thought this film has the potential and will work in the south as well,” The Tanu Weds Manu actor said.

It is then that the team shot the film simultaneously in both languages.

Saala Khadoos, co-produced by Rajkumar Hirani Films and Tricolour Films in association with UTV Motion Pictures, revolves around Madhavan’s character, who relentlessly pushes his boxing protege to overcome obstacles and achieve her goals. The actor says the movie goes beyond boxing.

“All sports-based films have done really well if I go by statistics. But Saala Khadoos is not just a sports film, it’s a relationship film,” he said.
