Storyline

In mid 2013, Sudha Kongara Prasad who had previously directed Drohi (2010), selected Madhavan to portray the leading role in sports drama film on boxing. The pair had previously collaborated in Madhavan\\\'s films under the direction of Mani Ratnam, where Sudha had been an assistant director. Portraying a retired boxer, Madhavan grew a thick beard and sported long hair for his role in the film, while embarking on an intense body conditioning regime in Los Angeles. Reports wrongly suggested that Madhavan was playing a role in another sports drama film, a biopic of the Indian boxer Mary Kom, and he clarified that he was acting on a separate film on boxing.



Ashvini Yardi was initially announced as the film\\\'s producer and began casting real life boxers including fighters from the Super Fight League for the film. However then Y NOT Studios and Thirukumaran Entertainment agreed to jointly produce the film in May 2014, and Santhosh Narayanan was subsequently signed on to compose the film\\\'s music. The film\\\'s Hindi title was revealed to be Laal in June 2014, with reports suggesting that the film would be loosely based on the life of boxing icon Muhammad Ali. The film\\\'s Tamil title Irudhi Suttru (Final Round) was announced shortly after, with the team beginning production from 14 July 2014. Two professional boxers from a boxing academy, Ritika Singh and Mumtaz Sorcar, who comes from a family of popular magicians and has done films in Bengali, were signed to play the two female leads. A small official launch event was held on 8 August 2014 and the team began a schedule shoot in Chennai thereafter. Scenes were shot in the tsunami-hit region slums of Srinivasapuram for the initial days of shoot.
