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.
