R. Madhavan's 'Saala Khadoos' to release in October

Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming production venture "Saala Khadoos", starring R. Madhavan, will release on October 16.

Hirani, who turned producer with Aamir Khan-starrer "PK", is coming out with his next production "Saala Khadoos". The teaser of the forthcoming film was attached with the release of "PK" in December last year.

This will be R. Madhavan's second film with Hirani after "3 Idiots" (2009).

"Saala Khadoos" marks the directorial debut of Sudha Kongara Prasad in the Hindi film industry. Prasad has also written the script of the film.

"I am excited to produce the film and also introduce a new director to the Hindi film industry, Sudha Kongara, who worked with Mani Ratnam for many years," Hirani said in a statement.

Apart from the "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" actor, "Saala Khadoos" also stars Ritika Singh, Mumtaz Sorcar and Zakir Hussain.
