Actor R Madhavan has been a star of multiple film industries across the country thanks to his incredible ability to play a wide range of characters. Even in his 50s, he has a certain charm and charisma about him that makes him appear to be a romantic actor. Despite his enormous talent and success, Madhavan still wishes to look and act like someone else.
R Madhavan’s debut film, Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, won millions of hearts. Maddy was more of an emotion than a character. Madhavan has made his mark in the industry for more than a decade despite having no backing or surname, and he still has a long way to go.
He has appeared in films that have been produced in seven different languages. He is best known for his roles in the films Rang De Basanti and 3 Idiots. Many people are unaware that he was also cast in Shah Rukh Khan’s My Name Is Khan. So, what went wrong?
Maddy’s performance as wildlife photographer Farhan Qureshi in 3 idiots is still remembered. Many people were moved by his incredible portrayal of a character who is stuck in a field other than the one he is truly passionate about.
As per the sources, R Madhavan was in a pickle after being offered parts in both My Name Is Khan and 3 Idiots. Initially, Madhavan was offered the role of Zakir Khan, which was played by Jimmy Shergill. However, the actor was preparing for his role as Farhan Qureshi in 3 Idiots at the time.
Because the release dates for both films clashed, the actor had to drop his role as Zakir Khan in My Name Is Khan. Jimmy Shergill was eventually cast in the role.
Recently, the actor has had nothing but praise for Hrithik Roshan. The actor stated in a recent interview that he wants to do “all the kinds of films” that the War actor does. His remarks came just days after he made a gracious remark about Hrithik’s first look in Vikram Vedha‘s Hindi remake. He said he has a lot of respect for him. Both of them started at the same time. Even now, he has the appearance of a Greek god and performs incredible stunts. But just wishing for it isn’t going to help me. To be able to star alongside Katrina Kaif, He further added he needs to be as fit as he is.
The lead role in Vikram Vedha was originally played by R Madhavan. While Madhavan was seen in the role of Vikram, which will be played by Saif Ali Khan in the Hindi remake, Hrithik is seen in the role of Vedha, which will be played by Vijay Sethupathi.
