I agree with what Justice said.
Madhavan's really a talented actor, you can see yourself with such as films as Kannathil Muthamittal (er spelling) and Ayutha Ezhuthu, and yes I wish sometimes he does different types or roles than the usual lover boy thing.....
From: m_23_bayarea on Sun Sep 25 19:23:35 2005. [Full View]

Yes, Madhavan is a really good actor. His intense acting in AYUTHA EZHUTHU is a good example. I also thought his face expressions in MINNALE was good too. He should come up with different genres of movies, and not just love stories..

Maddy is the BEST "actor" right now among the younger generation of actors.

Bay Area � I thought that Maddy has already done some "varied" and �bold� roles so far in his short career.

Alaipayuthey, Minnale - Lover by kind of roles

Dum Dum Dum, Anbe Sivam, Nala Damayanthi - Roles with comic touch.

Run - Action oriented.

KM - Serious role (although his Thamizh pronunication for a "writer" role was not up to the mark)

AE - Negative role as a Hechman.

Inspite of taking up "varied" roles and displaying his "gifted" acting ability the handsome actor hasn't got a big break that he rightly deserves.

After a long time, you have hit the nail right on it's head, kAsi

Hope TX is doing well and not get badly affected by "Rita".

Back to the topic - I always believed that Maddy is the "BEST" actor among the current crop of the so-called �young heroes� although he has a "different appeal" among the ladies audience.

Though all of his movies flopped badly recently, the results are there to see as an "actor".

Without putting any extra make-up or considerable "get-up" change, so far he has displayed his acting skills in different "genre" of roles. 8)

But he badly needs a "blockbuster" or two at the BO to gain a place in the bigger league.

In the past year or two, Surya is "trying" to get closer to him but still I believe Surya has a lot to prove in terms of versatility.

In my book, I still place Maddy ahead of Vikram & Surya in terms of "acting" skills. 8)

Thamizh pronunciation is something that Maddy has to work upon but that is understandable given that he comes from the North.

Hope "Thambi" gives him the much needed break.

great that I m being watched by you! Thanks for following me all these days!!

btw, Maddy *outperformed* KH in anbE sivam. Did I hit the nail on its head this time??
From: stranger on Tue Sep 27 16:16:37 2005. [Full View]

Hey guys!

I am really sorry to say this but maddy is just building up an image with a strange attitude of an MCP!

What is he doing in "Priyasakhi" and "aayudha ezhuththu"??

Just treating women like dirt???

Ask him to watch out, guys!

BTW, dont tell me his "role" is like that. What can he do? I want to see him in different roles like a "jollan" or a "dork" or a "lunatic" to prove himself as an actor!
From: Justice on Tue Sep 27 16:25:52 2005. [Full View]

madhavan is a good actor but has to be careful in his movies. his movies sometimes have some 'not-for-kids' stuffs. I agree with stranger. 8)
From: Nerd on Tue Sep 27 16:36:17 2005. [Full View]

Priyasakhi and MCP

Am I missing something here??

sada acted as an outrageous uncouth girl in that movie until the climax just like her mom ishwarya, if i remember correctly.
From: stranger on Tue Sep 27 16:47:45 2005. [Full View]

Kasi!

Priyasakhi is nothing but a modern version of pattikkaadaa pattaNamA. I dont think such a story is attractive in the modern world.

The way I look at it is sada was just fine naive "momma girl" and she is of course stupid with a dumb-head!

But this guy acts like a "male chauvanist pig" with too much of arrogance in every role he is taking up. I am sorry if you could not see what I see!
From: Nerd on Tue Sep 27 17:04:51 2005. [Full View]

Err... it all depends upon the eyes of the beholder.. If I see sada as an outrageous girl in that movie, no wonder you can see maddy as a MCP Also PS is not a movie worth discussing further

For a person who "would think" that Parattai (Rajini) out-performed Chappani (Kamal) in 16 Vayadhiniley it comes as no surprise that he "thinks" Anbarasu (Maddy) out-performed Nallasivam (Kamal)

Ok, on a serious note, I don't think either KH or Maddy out-performed the other in AS.

Anbarasu (Maddy) was amazing and was on his own & more importantly was not "consumed" by Nallasivam (KH) 's performance in AS.

That shows how good an actor Maddy is and an actor to watch out for (if he still stays around given the vagaries of TN Box-Office.)

Btw, saw your post on the Rajini thread! Glad to know that Houston was safe
From: Miss Chennai on Wed Sep 28 15:05:30 2005. [Full View]

Stranger!

Think Maddy is not developing a "MC" image. Can't judge his image build-up with a movie or two.

Didn't see PS have only read the review. So can't comment on that.

Yeah, in AE, he took up a "negative" role and played a henchman who is also a "MC".

Guess MR would have convinced him to take such a role and thought that it was a bold move from Maddy to take-up a negative role given that he is on a down-hill at the BO.

Hope he will change his on-screen image in "Thambi".

Trust me, "Thambi" Maddy is a good boy! 8)

Yes, I missed those movies but I didn't see PT though.

I liked Maddy's role in "Ennavale" as a singer and especially the intially encounters between him and Sneha were very cute Maddy was very subtle & natural.

There intial encounters in a way brought back the memories of "Andha 7 nAtkaL" Bhagyaraj & Ambika.

But I thought the cameo role he played in "Lesa Leysa" was a little "over-done" or may be it's just me.

I thought he "over-acted" a little bit as a short-tempered professor but didn't over-do it to the extent that you "hate" it.

Also, I liked Maddy's acting in "pArthAle paravasam". His role as a "young doctor" was very nicely done though the script was "crappy". 8)

I thought a good performance from Maddy & Simran was gone waste due to some crappy script from KB.

I hated KB some much for that movie!

Can't believe that he was the man who directed movies such as "Sindhu Bhairavi" or "Thaneer Thaneer" etc...

//For a person who "would think" that Parattai (Rajini) out-performed Chappani (Kamal) in 16 Vayadhiniley it comes as no surprise that he "thinks" Anbarasu (Maddy) out-performed Nallasivam (Kamal)//

Well, thats my opinion! Even KH will concede! RK stole the show from KH.

//Anbarasu (Maddy) was amazing and was on his own & more importantly was not "consumed" by Nallasivam (KH) 's performance in AS. //

Exactly! KH was *generous* enough not to do that like what he did to arjun and prabu in KP and VRMBBS respectively, remember in the original version both of them had meaty roles.

KH's make-up was awesome and with that make-up you could hardly see him *act* and thats why Ars, coming as a normal person could show million emotions and could outsmart KH, especially in the latter stages of the movie!

Also maddy is a better actor than surya, anyday. Surya hasnt taken up *heavy* roles like maddy in KM, AE etc..,

//Btw, saw your post on the Rajini thread! Glad to know that Houston was safe//

Thanks for your concern, am honoured 8)

Poor maddy is an very talented actor, but he's getting stuck in these conventional movies. His first couple of movies were really rocking with great characters for maddy. Hope he gets more good movies like Alaipayuthe, Minnale, Run etc.

yes madhavan is a very good actor and i see him immitating kamalhasan a lot these days esspecially after anbey sivam.his acting was very good in priyasakhi too<perfectly suited for him>esspecailly his voice modulation.

at one stage maddy was at the peak.all his three movies alaipayudhe,minnale and dum dum dum were super hits.the main reason for maddys fall in tfm after that is the letdown of bigdirectors who directed his films like maniratnam<kannthil muthamittal>k.balachander<parthale paravasam>these two films marked the down fall of maddy.hope he comes back.is priyasakhi a hit?but its still catching crowd in theatres
From: kidils on Sat Oct 1 13:56:36 2005. [Full View]

ya maddy is a good actor and he's got good looks. All his movies are decent and watchable.

But recently his movies were not great because of their scripts. Also other young heroes have taken his place as the loverboy.

I hope he gets interesting scripts in the future...and he better watch his weight! Maybe if directors don't take films with him anymore, he might come back slim and fit.

Maddy returns to small screen!

By Moviebuzz
Monday, 17 October , 2005, 09:24

Madhavan is going to host a game show Deal Ya No Deal on Sony TV starting in November for which the prize money is a cool Rs 2.5 Crore. The success of Amitabh Bachchan�s Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC-2) which notched up an amazing TRP rating of 9 has prompted Sony TV to start a similar game show.
Maddy hosting a TV show has created a bit of confusion in Tamil film circles! So is our Maddy calling it quits from Kollywood? As of now, he has only one film Thambi which is yet to be completed and he is yet to sign any new films.

Remember that similar programmes like Zee�s Sawaal Dus Crore Ka, with actors Anupam Kher and Manisha Koirala and Sony�s Jeeto Chappar Phar Ke with actor Govinda were damp squibs. Now will Madhavan succeed, where the other stalwarts failed? ....we surely hope so!

"Tamil cinema is my first priority": Maddy

By Moviebuzz

Maddy hosting a TV show on Sony TV titled �Deal Ya No Deal� has created a bit of confusion in Tamil film circles! So is our Maddy calling it quits from Kollywood? Moviebuzz caught up with the talented actor who spoke about his return to the small screen and his future career moves. Excerpts of an exclusive interview

So you have decided to go back to the small screen with a game show?
Yes I am doing this interesting game show titled �Deal Ya No Deal� for Sony TV, which is likely to be telecast thrice a week. It is produced by Miditech and the show format is owned by Endemol International versions of �Deal or No Deal�, the original version which had enjoyed very high viewership worldwide with a successful track record in 43 countries.

I consider it as a great honour when I was approached to host this reality show. Remember that there is nothing wrong in hosting a game show as it is the hottest thing on Indian television.

So what happens to you career in Tamil?
Let me make it loud and clear that Tamil cinema will remain my first passion and priority. It is my bread and butter and all what I am today, is just because of the Tamil film industry. I have given only five days a month to shoot the game show and rest of my time will be for Tamil cinema.

And your last release Priyasakhi was an average hit?
(Smiles) Actually it is a super hit. And overseas especially in Canada and Europe Priyasakhi made money for all concerned.

What are your forthcoming films?
I am gung-ho about Thambi directed by Sriman which is shaping out well. Now I will be starting Arya directed by Balasekharan and it promises to be interesting. I am getting plenty of offers but as a policy, I am doing only one film at a time.

Madhavan did not have a big hit after Run. His film, Thambi being directed by Seeman has been in the making for a long time. Pooja is the heroine. Shooting for the film had been progressing well, but Madhavan took a break because he had a son. Returning after a month, he cooperated well to complete the shooting. Now, the dubbing schedule has started in Chennai�s Bharani Studios, where Madhavan and the dubbing artiste for Pooja are working together

It will be a different Madhavan in Thambi
November 11, 2005
Behindwoods.com

Madhavan�s much awaited film is Thambi. Seeman is the director. It is the story of a revolutionary set in a village backdrop. The film will have plenty of action, sentiment and romance. Madhavan chucks his urban man image in this film. He has virtually got into the skin of the simple country person, who cannot take injustice lying down. He has even grown his hair long. Dialogues are in plain everyday Tamil without a hint of English. Pooja is the heroine. Vidyasagar has scored the music for lyrics written by Vairamuthu and Na. Muthukumar. The interesting thing about the film is that the film�s promos have used the ancient folk art form of Bommalattam.

I will act only in good films�: Madhavan
tamil.galatta.com

Madhavan has recently finished his Thambi. Next to this he has paired up with Bhavana in Aarya. When asked about this long gap in his acting Madhavan said �I will act only in films with a good story. I want to act in different kinds of characters. My fans must realize that I act in different roles and that is why I take up different roles. Even if I act in one film per year that is enough. I focus mainly on the story alone. I also have plans of conducting a programme similar to Crorepati for Sony TV�.

Madhavan gets ready for TV game show
IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 18, 2005]

Tamil superstar R. Madhavan has scored over Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan with his youthful looks getting him the job of anchor of Sony TV's new game show "Deal Ya No Deal".

Several contenders, including Saif, were said to have been in the fray. But Sony TV picked up Madhavan. And now the "Ramji Londonwale" actor, Maddy to his fans, has cut his hair short for his latest TV avatar.

The change is aimed at restoring his old "boyish" image, considered essential by the producers of the programme. He has been sporting long hair for months now.

The show, produced by Miditech in association with Endemol BV, offers prize money of Rs.10 million ($220,000) to participants in the game. It is expected to go on air Nov 23.

"Deal Ya No Deal" is Sony's own version of the original game show called "Deal Or No Deal".

Some observers feel the TV show may revive Madhavan's somewhat sagging cinematic fortunes. His recent "Ramji Londonwale", a remake of the successful Tamil comedy "Nala Damyanthi", wasn't well received at the box office.

Madhavan is the fourth prominent Tamil film star to anchor a TV game show.

Sarath Kumar set the trend with "Koteeswaran" on Sun TV, modelled on Amitabh Bachchan's "Kaun Banega Crorepati". Sarath's "Naan thayaar, neengal thayaraa?" (I am ready, are you?) became nearly as popular in Tamil Nadu as Amitabh's "Lock kar dein?"

Khushboo's "Jackpot" on Jaya TV continues to be a hit despite the political controversy on her remarks on pre-martial sex in a magazine interview.

Meena, another Tamil actress, made her entry into the television world as the hostess of a game show called "House Full". It was launched on Jaya TV last month and is reported to be doing well.

Madhavan's next film, to be made in both Tamil and Telugu, will be "Arya" and his co-star will be Malayalam actress Bhavana. The film is being directed by Balasekharan and produced by Manoj Kumar and Vijay Anand.

Madhavan-Bhavna act in �Arya�
- 19.11.2005
Cinesouth.com

Is it 5 years since �Love Today� got released? It could be more. Why such a long gap, we asked director Balasekaran. �I was waiting for a good story,� was his predictable answer.

After such a long gap, Bhavna has started a film starring herself and Madhavan in �Arya�! If you notice, Bhavna is occupying the spot of Balasekaran! So, let�s deal with Bhavna first.

Along with Meera Jasmine, Navia Nair and a dozen others, Bhavna is one of the actresses who came from Malayalam to Tamil films. She is a charming girl with a charming smile. (Those who are already eager to see her can check out �Naran� where she plays the lead role with Mohanlal).

Anyway, Madhavan plays a doctor in this film. The film is produced by Manoj Kumar of Guru Films and Vijay Anand of V J Movies. Music is by Mani Sarma

A small gossip about �Arya.� Gopika was supposed to do the lead role first. Since Gopi had no free dates, Bhavna became the lucky one.

Maddy is all thrilled
IndiaGlitz [Monday, November 21, 2005]

Madhavan is all thrilled now. The reason - he has been appreciated by no less person than the Big B himself.

Madhavan, who is hosting a game show Deal Ya Na Deal on Sony TV, says, ' I was appreciated by Amitabh Bachchan recently for hosting the game show well. It is a great compliment in my life', he says.

Currently acting in Arya, a bi-lingual, Madhavan says, 'an actor has to perform in a variety of films. He should not restrict himself to one particular style. I played the macho man in Ayudha Ezhuthu and Run, whereas in Priyasakhi it was a sweet husband's role while in Arya, it's mix of good and bad elements'.

Indeed with such diverse experiments, Madhavan is becoming highly popular in urban centers.

As far as the trend in Tamil industry goes, actors and actresses who have fewer film offers enter television especially for hosting game shows. Kushboo, Meena, Ramya Krishnan, Babloo etc. come to mind immediately. But, in Bollywood top stars with busy film schedules host game shows. These shows are high in TRP ratings. Big B�s KBC has kept the viewers hooked on its second avatar as well. Similarly, Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan also had a good run.

Failure here, success there
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, December 07, 2005]

Life is strange. So are successes and failures. You can never truly understand them.

Take the case of the film Priyasakhi.

Director Adhiyaman's Priyashaki may have bit the dust in Kollywood, but the movie has reportedly made it big in South Africa.

The movie starring Madhavan and Sada was about the post-marital problems of a lover couple.

The movie was screened for Tamil community in South Africa, who were really impressed with the storyline.

They dubbed the movie in Zulu in released in South Africa.

Apparently, it has successfully completed 50 days run and Adhiyaman was at South Africa to promote the film.

Buzz is Adhiyaman has been roped in to direct a Zulu movie next.

Madhavan on the move
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, December 08, 2005]

Madhavan is in need of a hit to sustain himself in Kollywood. Will Maddy pull it off this time ?

Not having enjoyed much success, of late, Madhavan has a gilt-edged opportunity to prove his talents in Thambi.

Director Seeman has few comforting words for Maddy. He says, 'Thambi would bring to light the other side of Madhavan. Known for his romantic roles till now, he has played the role of an angry young man with ease.'

Asked on choosing Madhavan for the title role, an outspoken Seeman says, 'I had met several actors and narrated the story. No one bothered to work in the film. Thankfully, Madhavan understood my urge and accepted to work in the film'.

Pooja shares the frames with Madhavan after Jay Jay. Let's hope Thambi have successful run.

Maddy raring to go
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, February 01, 2006]

After Vijay�s Madurai, producer-cum- director Madesh will be making a comeback with his next movie titled Sarkar.

Interestingly the movie doesn't have anything to do with Ram Gopal Verma's Hindi movie Sarkar which starred Amitabh Bachchan in the lead.

Guess who plays the hero in the movie? Rumor has it that Madhavan will play the hero and a big heroine from Bollywood might be cast opposite him.

Madesh, a one-time associate of director Shankar plans to make it a bi-lingual (Tamil and Telugu simultaneously).

Madhavan has Thambi lined up for release next. He has Arya then and will be followed by Sarkar.

Maddy is ready and raring to go.

No.. Anjali.. I beg to differ with u. See, Considering the role of madhavan in KM, I would say he had no great scope in that movie. the character completely looked different and he was not suitable for the role at that time. I also agree with u that we can't expect him to chase the girls always. But when I saw PriyaSakhi, it was good. It catered to MADDY lovers as well as to Mature audience. I don't want him to act as a supporting actor again in his future movies

No.. Mani killed his talents in KANNATHIL MUTHAMITTAAL. I think Maddy should be little bit careful when accepting a Mani film in the future. Very Happy

Maniratnam didnt wasted his talent. He only used a very less part of his talent in KM

Maddy in hot competition
IndiaGlitz [Friday, February 03, 2006]

Madhavan is all set to compete with Kamal Haasan and Dhanush.

His Arya, a bi-lingual being made in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously, will hit the theatres on Tamil New Year's day. It may be known that Vettaiyaadu Villaiyaadu and Pudhupettai too are slated for release on 14 April.

Producer Manoj Kumar is all praise for Balasekhar. �All credit should go to director Balasekaran and Madhavan for giving an honest try. A major portion of the movie has been completed while a couple of song sequences and the climax have to be shot'.

For Madhavan, Thambi will be releasing shortly and following which Arya would hit the theaters.

Dwelling on the movie, Balasekaran, says, 'it is the story of a medical student, who takes his knife for a different purpose and its repercussions forms the crux'.

Prakash Raj's cameo is a major highlight of the movie. In Telugu, the movie has some minor changes and Vadivelu's portion is done by Sunil.

Bhavana, Devan, Tejashree and Vadivelu are also in the cast. Music is by Manisharma.

Madhavan Vs Satyaraj
February 07, 2006
Behindwoods.com

The chocolate hero Madhavan has tasted success after a long time with the Hindi movie Rang De Basanti. The movie has been declared a hit in Bollywood. Though, he played a cameo role in the movie, he has received good response for his excellent work. Now, he is working on the bi-lingual movie Arya which is directed by Balasekaran. Balasekaran was supposed to direct a Satyaraj starrer but he abandoned it when the chance for directing Maddy came his way. The crew for the movie has returned back to Chennai after completing the shooting in and around Vizag. The producer of the movie was full in praise of Madhavan and Balasekaran for the co-operation they have given for this movie. He also praised Andhra Pradesh government because the permission was granted to them immediately and also he requested Tamil Nadu government to follow the same norms.

Murli: Mad about Maddy

tamil.galatta.com

Dr. J. Murli Manohar, the London-based producer of Ramji Londonwale is always happy to wax eloquent about namma Madhavan. He worked with Maddy in Maddy�s first film Inferno, which was how they became acquaintances, friends, and inseparable pals. They were together for Minnale which was another great success. This was followed by Laysa Laysa and Ramji Londonwaley. Dr. Murli�s Thambi is expected to hit screens very soon. Thambi shows Maddy playing the challenging role of a person who is a fusion of Mahatma Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose. Dr. Murli Manohar is confident this role will take Maddy�s career to another level. Incidentally, Maddy�s �special appearance� in Rang De Basanti is very vital to the movie, an essential component, the focus of the movie. We are proud of you, Maddy and look forward to many more outstanding performances from you!

Madhavan: No Deal

tamil.galatta.com

R. Madhavan has stopped being the host of the Sony game show, Deal Ya No Deal since January 2006, since the shooting takes place at Mumbai, eating into his time and commitments given to producers at Chennai. Madhavan rightly feels that his first priority should be to movies and to producers with whom he has given commitments. It is said that Sony originally told him he would be required to spend not more than 7 days per month in Mumbai, but he actually ended up spending over 10 days per month due to this game show. He was also not happy with the �Less than professional� and �less-than-punctual� attitude he had to face at Mumbai. Though he found the shoot for the show exhausting due to extra traveling, and testing, as when he had to report for shooting immediately after his grandfather�s funeral, he agrees he found the experience exhilarating, and interacting with the audience, stimulating and enjoyable.

Madhavan On April 14th

tamil.galatta.com

On April 14th, Tamil New Year, Madhavan will face stalwarts Kamal Haasan and Dhanush head-on in the battlefield. Arya is releasing on April 14, also Kamal�s Vettaiyaadu Villaiyaadu and Dhanush's Pudhupettai. So who will be the winner of this race, or will they all end up in Pudupettai (famous junkyard)?

Arya director Balasekaran reveals the film tells the story of a medical student who uses the scalpel to heal and for other non-Hippocratic purposes, but with a good cause which he reveals in the movie. As a result of his misuse of the scalpel, the final result is blood-curdling, and forms the climax of the film. Producer Manoj Kumar is all praises for the director and for Maddy�s sincere natural acting. He is elated with the final result.

In the Tamil version, we have Vadivelu, and in the Telugu version, Sunil plays the same role. Prakash Raj also plays a cameo role in the film and the other cast includes Bhavana, Devan, Tejashree and Vadivelu. Manisharma is going to handle the music. Two song sequences and the climax scene are yet to be shot, the rest is complete.

Maddy happy with Thambi�s release
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, February 15, 2006]

Madhavan starrer Thambi is finally set for release this month. The movie directed by director Seeman has been censored and was handed over a 'U' certificate.

But why a 'U' certificate for an action-packed film?

Clarifies Madhavan. 'It is a movie which carries a strong message against violence. Hence we cannot preach people to stop taking arms without showing action-packed stunt sequences. We have been able to convey the message loud and clear in the movie and hence we have obtained a 'U' certificate.

Maddy is working in Arya, a film directed by Balasekharan. Aria is simultaneously being made in Telugu too under the name Honey. The lead cast with Teja Sri, Bhavana and Prakash Raj remains the same. While the movie is nearing completion in Tamil, it has just kicked off in Telugu. Maddy is upbeat about the film and his role. Maddy is desperate for a hit. When was it he gave a hit last time? Run?!

Maddy At Sania's Court
[Saturday, February 18, 2006]

Maddy is a man of many parts. Cinema is just one, albeit important, part of his life.

As a well-informed individual, he focuses his mind on many things in life.

Sports is certainly one among them. The smart actor always evinces keen interest in them. This week, when he was in Bangalore, he made it to the WTA Tennis Tourney and enjoyed the fare. Giving him company was Ramya, the actress, who is also Krishna's (former Chief Minister) granddaughter.

Maddy made for good moments to photographers looking for some glamour at the tennis tourney.

Make or break for Maddy!

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 20 February , 2006, 10:43

It is make or break for Madhavan as Thambi releasing this Friday (Feb 24) is very crucial for him. As far as his Tamil film career is concerned, Thambi has to take an opening, for Maddy to survive in a highly competitive industry.

Maddy�s role in Rang De Basanti has brought cheer and lot of accolades to the actor for the first time in Bollywood, as it is his first successful film there. His last film in Tamil Priyasakhi was very average in Tamilnadu but a big hit overseas.

However Seeman directed Thambi carries good pre-release reports as an action film with a message and we hope that his RDB lucky streak continues in Tamil.

Added to that, Thambi�s opening will also determine if Madhesh�s Sarkar will be launched. Distributors will only fund the film if Thambi gets a good opening.

The buzz on Thambi is encouraging with censors giving the film a clean �U� certificate as family audience have been shying away from all recent �A� releases.

Thambi ::: Indiaglitz Review

Seeman seems inspired by the latest cricket sensation Mahendra Singh Dhoni ---like the blasting batsman, Seeman gets his ideas with force and passion And in Madhavan, Seeman has found a willing partner, who is the flesh and blood of the movie, carrying the entire burden on his shoulders.

Seeman has made the story seemingly inspired by the Communist revolutionary Cheguvara. His love for poet Bharathy is also visible at many places where Madhavan's diction and body language reminds one of the poet, who is also known for his revolutionary thoughts on the society. All credit should go to Seeman for his not making any commercial compromise but at the same time making the movie engrossing and entertaining.

On the face of it, he seems inspired by typical Shankar formula screenplay: An individual fighting for the betterment of the society. But Seeman shrewdly brings in Communist philosophies here. Dialogues at certain places are very sharp and are sure to leave an impact on the audience.

Thambi Velu Thondaiman (Madhavan) is an angry youth who stands up against all the evils that he witness in the society in his everyday life. He takes on Sankara Pandian (Biju Menon), a local goonda, who unleashes violence in the city. The sight of fearless Thambi sends fear in the spines of Sanakara Pandian's gang. Thambi resolves to put an end to Sanakra Pandian's activities. He comes across Archana (Pooja), who initially mistakes him to be a gangster for she sees him fighting with a few goondas. Coming to know of his character, she falls for him.

Thambi with the help of a few like-minded friends thwarts the attempts of Sankara Pandian to unleash terror among people. Meanwhile, in a flashback, it is revealed that Thambi's family was killed by Sankara Pandian's gang for Thambi identifies the killer of a youth. The murderer happens to be none other than Sanakara Pandian's brother Shanmuga Pandian (Shanmuga Rajeswaran).

For political mileage, Shankara Pandian unleashes mob violence in the city and Thambi runs around to prevent the disaster. Thambi brings a change in Shankara Pandian's heart and mind. However, his brother, who comes out of prison, runs for Thambi's blood. The rest is all but a riveting climax, which ends on a positive note.

It's Maddy all the way. After a long time, one gets to see Madhavan performing with his expressive eyes. He seems to have put in hard work in his body language, diction and gets the emotions right. A refreshing Madhavan could be seen here. Equally impressive is Biju Menon. The Malluwood star has delivered the goods. Known hitherto as a character actor, he has proved that he can also do action scenes quite comfortably.

Pooja who plays Maddy's ladylove has enough opportunities on the screen and utilizes them well. The rest of the cast including Ilavarasu, Vadivelu, Manivannan and Manobala adds strength to the movie.

Vidyasagar's re-recording and the cinematography of Balasubramanyam are added values to the movie.

Seeman has succeeded in rendering a movie carrying a message that fits the contemporary society. A bold attempt worth watching. However, on the flip side, towards the second-half, few romantic sequences scenes involving Pooja and Madhavan puts brakes on the movie's pace.

The one who is most smitten is the film�s heroine, Soha Ali Khan, who played Madhavan�s fiancee. The daughter of Sharmila Tagore and Pataudi Sr. and Saif�s younger sister, seems to prefer Siddhu�s company as the twosome are seen together more often these days.

Review

The opening is silent and dramatic� Thambi � badly wounded, seemingly defeated, draped over a wire fence in a desolate-looking neighbourhood. He had been in a bloody fight with a local ruffian, Shanmugapandian, who is the brother of one of the big local �dadas�, Shankarapandian. Shanmugapandian had beaten up and killed a young and innocent man in a fit of rage earlier, and Thambi had intervened. And ended up overpowered.

This is the present. Cut to scene: how it all started�

Thambi is a young businessman, running a garment manufacturing unit. He is conscientious, honest and all that is good� but rare in this apathetic, cruel and corrupt society. To right wrongs is in his very nature and he is always in trouble with some ruffian group or the other because he always speaks out against injustice � right where it happens. He�s not unnecessarily violent, but doesn�t flinch from fighting and beating up the bad guys to teach them a lesson.

The story goes to show how the passion for righteousness is like a fire kindling in him. He�s not a punch-first-ask-later type of guy, but he WILL fight for what he believes in. He does not torture and kill, but tries to show the offender the suffering caused by a crime. It is in one of these incidents that the viewer meets Archana. She is giving a Bharatnatyam performance, when a group of thugs, chased by Thambi and his friends enters the hall and creates huge confusion� effectively ruining her entire show. When she spots him at a public location again, she screams at him, asking how he could possibly be as violent and insensitive as he is. Rickshaw Vadivu jumps to his rescue and from his scathing words; she gleans a little insight into what Thambi really is.

In a slightly stereotyped scene, Archana is at a restaurant and some young men take some pictures on their mobile phones from lewd positions, and not being able to tolerate this anymore, she retaliates with words. They assault her and due to the sheer numbers, she is unable to do anything but try to slap their hands away. Thambi happens to be in the same restaurant and tries to talk some sense into them, to no avail. And he looks at Archana with mesmerising intensity and asks � �ippo naan yenna seiya!� � a line now so popular from the trailers of Thambi. Well, sometimes violence is what teaches a lesson and he beats the baddies up. He then gives his shirt to Archana and leaves.

When Archana finally makes it to Thambi�s house, she learns a lot about Thambi from his family members� who are not his biological family. She learns who his family members were, how they used to live, how they were taken away from him and he was left alone, how the �family� he has now adopted comes to be� She is falling in love. Unrequited, though, because Thambi sternly tells her that he has no similar feelings for her and his heart is that of a revolutionary � he HAS to constantly stand up for right wherever there is a wrong, and he is most probably most-wanted-dead on a lot of people�s lists. But Archana pursues him�

The story starts to take twists and turns when Thambi encounters head honcho Shankarapandian. How they meet, how and why they are pitted against each other, how Shanmugapandian is involved are what make up the rest of the movie.

Thambi is, all in all, a good film which could have been handled better. The music is good, the camera work is superb and the story something that today�s society in a state of near-anarchy probably needs. A story of good over evil, honesty and ethics and fighting courageously for what is good and right. Seeman has excelled in the invigorating dialogues and ensuring that these are emoted and delivered properly.

One can see Madhavan in a different role. After Priyasakhi and a general feeling of being slotted in a chocolate-hero image, he has given a performance and a look that is intense, deeply emotional and that of a basically good person. His beliefs are like fire bubbling under the surface. The action scenes are a feel-good factor, where Thambi shows off his martial arts skills, which Madhavan practised a lot for.

At last, Pooja has a chance to show off her acting skills. Her role of the annoyed and angry young woman and then of a spurned woman by the love of her life; and then of a woman determined to win over her man, has been played really well.

The movie could have been a little more� well, complete. It has its usual little holes and some vacuum where one wonders how one got from one scene to the other. The story tends to get a little preachy and revolutionary in places, but one can definitely argue that this is something much needed, especially for the youth today.

Full marks, though, go to the dialogues. Seeman has managed to put together some original, inspiring and power-packed dialogues for all the characters. He has managed to draw these lines out of the characters well and there are some very quotable quotes (Naan ippo yenna seiya; Gandhi solli thirundhalai, naan sonna vaa thirundha porey; and many more). Camera work is also good, as are the fight sequences and the portrayal of Manivannan�s character, Podhu Udumai.

A good movie for everyone to watch and learn.

Thambi

By Moviebuzz

Thambi lives in the age of rage. Madhavan plays Thambi an honest-to-goodness guy who like a chameleon changes into a head-banger of violence and unchecked anger when he sees injustice around him.

The anger-soaked Thambi�s agenda is to reform the baddies and not to take revenge on them, even the villains who had wiped off his family! Well that is the redeeming feature of Seeman written and directed film. Seeman�s protagonist has been culled out of Che Guvera the legendary revolutionary and LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran affectionately known as Thambi!

Thambi is a do-gooder in his area, a local �goonda� with a heart of gold, runs a stitching centre for the destitute women with no home, fights injustice, advices people to turn into a new leaf. Well, like any other anti-hero, Thambi too has a past- a predictable and clich�d one told in a flashback. But Thambi believes in non-violence and does not turn vengeful and swears to make the killer Sankarapandian alias Annachi (Biju Menon) into a nice guy!

Is there any action film in Indian cinema without a heroine? Here it is Archana (Pooja) a college student who is madly in love with our hero. Then there is Manivannan who chronicles the life and times of Thampi (Remember Rajesh had done a similar role in Ajit�s Red?) Biju Menon is apt and does the routine villain act and why was Vadivelu a part of the film, as he hardly has any scenes?

Ultimately your heart goes straight to Madhavan who recently played the cool and suave Flt Lt Ajay Rathod with such style and �lan in Rang De Basanti. However Maddy has tried hard to shed that classy image he has, which is like a mill stone around his neck. Here he has to do the angry young man act as per Tamil commercial film norms like yelling, hamming and eyeball popping act! Remember that the same Maddy was a revelation in a similar ruffian role with a subdued performance in Mani Ratnam�s Aayitha Ezhuthu.

Dialogues or punch lines of Seeman are to give a mass image for the hero like �Naan ippo yenna seiya? Gandhi solli thirundhalai, naan sonna vaa thirundha porey? . And finally Thambi�s justification for his acts is- �Open heart surgery is a not a crime but a cure�. Vidyasagar�s music is adequate with some soothing melodies and art direction by Mani Raj is commendable.

On the whole, Seeman�s intentions are noble but could have been told in a more realistic manner.

Verdict: Average

Thambi makes Maddy happy
February 24, 2006

It looks like tides have changed for Maddy. Rang de Basanti did bring him accolades and now Maddy is getting ready for more with his performance in Thambi which is slated to release today. Inside reports say the movie carries a powerful story line with Maddy as a one man army out to destroy the baddies. For fans, this is going to be a special treat. For the lay, this is going to be a reminder that Maddy is still a star to reckon with.

Thambi` in Trouble!

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 01 March , 2006, 13:47

Madhavan�s Thambi has taken a poor opening all over Tamilnadu, creating tremors in the trade.

The children fantasy Hollywood film, The Chronicles of Narnia, with around 50 prints in Tamil has taken a better opening than any Tamil film released in February!

In Chennai city, Madhavan�s traditional stronghold, Thambicarries mixed reports. Devi and at Roopam a mini theatre, the film is not able to attract houseful audience. The trouble with Thambi is that Maddy�s fan base consisting of mainly families and ladies are not accepting him in as an action role.

Meanwhile at Coimbatore another Maddy stronghold, the film opened at Archana only(normally Tamil films open in two or three screens) and by Monday it had fallen from an average 75 percent to an alarming 45 percent.

Happy Maddy, bids bye to TV
March 01, 2006

Madhavan is a happy man now. After hunting for hits, his performance in RDB has been noticed and he has become a bankable star once again. His recent Tamil film, Thambi is said doing well in B and C centres. Next flick Ariya is said to be shaping up well. Quite heartening for the man who, not long ago, was involved in some forgettable controversies.

Anyhow, now that his films are doing well again, 2006 does have a good outlook for him. While Maddy had been out of film offers, he had worked in the television game show, Deal Ya No Deal on Sony TV. But after a couple of episodes, he walked out saying that he wanted to concentrate on films. This strategy has paid him off well. He is now showered with offers in Hindi and Tamil. Sidelight: Don�t miss Deal ya no Deal as it is now hosted by Mandira Bedi.

Madhavan, remote control pilot

tamil.galatta.com

With his cameo role as Flight Lieutenant Ajay Rathod in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti Madhavan has truly hit the jackpot, and he has become THE flavour of the season! But what is his actual experience in flying aircraft? His candid reply is truly heartwarming. He says - "I enjoy flying remote control helicopters!"

Regarding the trule life controversy around the safety record of the notoriously unsafe MiG fighter jets, he says - "The movie is a superhit; what's the use of talking about it (the controversy)?"

He also spoke about the film, his forthcoming projects, and his pet projects. His views, in his words, are:

My role in Rang De Basanti is a cameo. True. BUT - the film revolves around my role. It's about how DJ (Aamir Khan), Karan, Sukhi and Aslam -- the good-for-nothing friends of my girlfriend (Soha Ali Khan), find a purpose in life, about how Rathod's death forces them to think, act and bring about a change, start a revolution.

Apart from that, I always wanted to work with Aamir Khan. Hence, when I got a chance, I grabbed it. I enjoyed the shooting and working with the entire cast, especially Aamir. Working with Soha Ali Khan was also a delight.

About Rang De Basanti and my character.

I love playing roles in uniform because it gives me a sense of pride of being in an organisation that believes in patriotism.

In one of my earlier serials Sea Hawks also, I played the role of a coast guard officer fighting smugglers. The character of Preet became extremely popular as he could mimic any character and he was this mischievous guy who would keep fooling around. I used to draw references from my experience as an NCC cadet in the army artillery wing.

I quit Deal Ya No Deal (the television game show) because they wanted more than seven days in a month and I did not have time at all. I am doing three movies right now. I cannot work my dates over a spreading schedule. In television the schedules keep changing and hence it gets difficult for me to keep my dates for movie shootings. I enjoyed the show while it lasted.

I have recently featured in an advertisement on going vegetarian. In this ad, I am featured crouched in a small wire cage with a look of despair on my face -- to illustrate the misery of animals confined in factory farms and at butcher shops. Shot by ace photographer Atul Kasbekar, the ad encourages people to 'Liberate your diet: Go veg.'

I was totally uncomfortable during the photoshoot crouched in that small cage. But what were a few fleeting moments of discomfort for me, as opposed to the suffering that animals raised for food are forced to endure from the time they are born?

We've all seen chickens crammed in cages at local butcher shops, but nobody stops to think about what trauma the animals are going through, never getting to run, play or feel the grass beneath their feet. It's simple -- I love animals, so I don't eat them.

I am currently working on a Tamil movie Thambi with actress Pooja, which is slated to release on February 17. I play the challenging role of Thambi -- a person who is a fusion of Mahatma Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose. It's an unusual film, against violence, which the audience is sure to enjoy. Dr J Murli Manohar, the London-based producer of Ramji Londonwaley, is producing the film.

Then there is Sarkar, which has nothing to do with Ram Gopal Varma's Hindi movie. there is another Hindi movie at the end of this year also. I just need a solo hero superhit to click in Bollywood. At present, I am doing one Hindi movie a year. I have enjoyed working with Diya Mirza, Samita (Bangargi); I really get along well with Namrata (Shirodkar). On screen, I love watching Rani Mukerji.

Madhavan: Thambi sparkles

tamil.galatta.com

Thambi has generated a positive buzz and Actor R. Madhavan is ecstatic. Already, the cameo role in Rang De Basanti won him much adulation and accolades. "I am honestly pleasantly surprised. The only reason I did it was because of Aamir," he says.

Now, Thambi is drawing rave reviews and crowded audiences at all theatres where it is screened.

"After a long time I came across a director who told me a story that made me hug him," beams Madhavan. "Seeman is so good with lines that I wonder how come he never got a chance before. Thambi is an anti-thesis to the classical revenge tale. I play a character who has shades of Gandhi and Bose, a crusader who uses a little violence against violence. Like a line in the movie that goes: �A person putting a scalpel to your heart is not being violent, he's treating you. Open heart surgery is not violence, it's the cure.� Ours is the only country where even if you have to say `Silence!' you have to scream it out. That's also from the movie. Seeman has to be the best dialogue writer in the industry. The movie is full of such one-liners. It completely blew my mind. The problem was finding a producer until Dr. Murli Manohar very boldly came forward to take it to a larger canvas."

Is he able to relate to a full-fledged commercial Tamil film sensibility after a very refined Rang De Basanti? "I am making a film for a Tamil audience. I wish I had the formula where I knew what my audience was. When I get to Madurai they introduce me as the hero of Minnale and Run. In New York, they say I'm the actor from Alai Payuthey, Anbe Sivam and Ayudha Ezhuthu, when I go to foreign universities, they say I've done super hits like Kannathil Muthamittal, Nala Damayanti and Anbe Sivam. Some movies that don't do well here are cult-hits abroad, being among the highest selling DVDs. So which is my target audience? Internet users, theatre-goers, movie halls abroad, critics or a Telugu audience, which will watch a dubbed version of my film?"

Isn't he just happy he doesn't have an image trap to add to that? "Yes, luckily there's no image trap for me. Of course, I am seen as a romantic hero, but they know I'm going to come out with something different."

The box office in Bollywood, he hopes, will be kinder to him. "I've been very unlucky, but I believe it has to do with the timing of the release. Rehna Hai ... went on to be a retro-hit. I have a fond feeling that the Hindi film industry is waiting to give me my first solo hit soon."

"Rakeysh Mehra recently told me how most of my films will be found in the archives even years later for one reason or the other. Be it Anbe Sivam or Alai Payuthey or Aayitha Ezhuthu or Rang De Basanti or Kannathil Muthamittal ... I am proud that I've been here for five years and done 10 films worth their place in the archives," says Madhavan, who recently scored another hit with his game show �Deal Ya No Deal�. "I had to opt out because there was no way I could give them 10 whole days in a month with my existing commitments," he adds.

Though he has three films to choose from in Hindi post Rang De Basanti, Madhavan plans to concentrate on Tamil this year with Balasekaran's Arya and Madhesh's Sarkar in the pipeline.

Title: Palakkadu

Hero peru Palakkadu Madhavan
From: Kollywoodfan on Thu Mar 2 11:31:38 2006. [Full View]

Thambi : Cinesouth Awesome Review (for once, wow)

Madhavan,Pooja The story will prick the conscience of those who don�t want to be involved in anything.

When a stranger is hacked to death in the street, he wants to carry the man and help save his life; when delinquents set fire to a public transport bus, he chases them away; when someone tries to rob a lady of her mangalsutra for wages paid by someone else, he chases the miscreants and saves her life�he is Thambi.

Unmindful of his personal safety, Thambi wants to help a society steeped in its own self. If you balance his anger on one side of a balance and his affection on the other, the balance will be equal.

Madhavan has a small business where he gives job opportunities to families affected by anti-social elements.

Madhavan witnesses a murder committed by Biju Menon�s brother Shanmugarajan and when he testifies in court, Shanmugarajan is given punishment. In anger, Biju Menon�s henchmen destroy Madhavan�s family.

In regular films, the hero will usually take revenge on the villains. When you think Madhavan is also going to do just that, director Seeman surprises us with his different treatment.

Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth kind of attitude will only result in never ending violence, so Madhavan tries to reform the villain! Whether Madhavan is successful or not forms the climax of the film.

Instead of his usual chocolate boy image, Madhavan�s character is different in this film.

Whether he�s boiling with anger over injustice done to somebody, or drowning in pity over someone else�s sadness, Madhavan�s acting plucks at your heart strings.

Most of us wait for another person to bell the cat, but Thambi�

�Theekuchi irundhaalthaane deepangal!

Yaar theekuchiyaavadhu

Enbadhuthaane prachanai?

Idho naan theekuchiyaagiren� is the first step.

�Naan uyirodu irrukkira varaikkum

Saavu varaadhu�

Saavu varumpodhu

Naan uyirodu irukka mattein� and the fears inside us take wing.

Cheman �Dhehathula oduradhuthaandaa raththam

Thevaiyillaama theruvila yendaa odudhu�

Paaru paaru un suyanalam

Paththi theriyudhaa paaru��

If Madhavan talks like this at the scenes of violence, at least one rowdy per street will reform.

The scenes of relaxation are when Madhavan�s girl friend Pooja shows her love for him. She understands his volatile nature and his need to do the things he does. Pooja composes a love poem for Madhavan.

Strong plot and the resolution of the screenplay totally fills the viewer with complete satisfaction and thereby there�s no need to enforce characters for comedy, romance and villainy.

Cinematographer Balasubramaniam garners the viewers� attention from the very first scene where Madhavan was beaten at the dustbin and dangled on the fence.

Stunt director Vikram Dharma deserves appreciation in adding value to Madhavan�s body language. But at the same time, scenes in which Madhavan bends his face bears a similarity to Surya in �Nanda�, and that could have been avoided.

The song �Ennamma devi jakkamma� in Vidyasagar�s music gets into the system.

Instead of giving an action film, director Seeman has given oxygen and thus we feel like treating him with great affection.

�Thambi� � huge person

Wow...

All praise goes to Seeman � Madhavan happy
- 03.03.2006

Madhavan is so happy that he will even give Seeman a red carpet welcome.

Exhausted and happy with the success of �Thambi,� even neem paste will taste sweet to the �Thambi� crew.

�I have been expecting this, sir. I have slogged for 1 � years for �Thambi.� Now I am reaping happiness. I owe it all to Seeman, he deserves all the credit. He has projected my character in the film quite differently. Now I will have my share of fans in all centres. When Seeman told me about the character and how I had to speak pure Tamil, I wondered how the film would turn out.

Today when people are appreciating my character role and dialogue delivery, I can understand Seeman�s intelligence. I will try to do out of the ordinary films like this with new story lines,� said Madhavan excitedly.

What�s the next step?

�I am doing �Arya� directed by Balasekharan. I am a medical college student in the film. The story is about the fun fights between a guy and girl. This character is just the opposite of Thambi. After completing �Arya,� I will act in �Sarkar� to be directed by Madesh.�

March 03, 2006

Madhavan showered praise on the director Seeman in Bangalore for a special screening of Thambi for giving him a great reopening in Tamil. He said that while Mani Ratnam had cast him in a different character in Aytha Ezhuthu, it was Seeman who had tailored the Thambi character so nicely. Playing Thambi had been his most exciting and challenging experience, which he did not get even in Mani�s Aytha Ezhuthu. He said that when he went abroad, people appreciated him for Anbe Sivam, while in Tanjore, Trichy and Madurai, people liked him in Run. He hoped that Thambi would be liked by all.

...but i didn't enjoy Madhavan's acting (in particular, his yelling and eyes

)...that's all...
i'm not used to seeing Madhavan like this....he tried something different which i appreciate

but i wish he downplayed his role...

any way i wish only the best for Madhavan and Thambi!

Vijay is used to yelling

...i've seen it..nothing new...but honestly, i thought Vijay acted well in Aadhi

...no comments about Trisha...

my Aadhi comment is just my view...just like my Paramasivan review...

Here�s a chance to act with Maddy in Ariya
March 04, 2006

After Surya appearing in Pepsi and requesting you to act with him in Aaru, it is now Maddy�s turn to invite you to work with him in Ariya. Your qualification � male between 25 and 30 and use the new Fair and Lovely Men�s cream. Fill in the form and if you are selected you would be given training in all aspects of acting like dancing, emoting and fighting. Your skills will be tested in a final with a bike race to boot. There will also be a round of contest in which leading directors would be the judges. The lucky one selected would play Maddy�s college mate. The film is expected to go on floors soon and released by June.

Contented Maddy

tamil.galatta.com

Thambi Madhavan is happy at Thambi�s success in the box office, as predicted by him. He struggled and toiled for 18 months for this movie, learning to speak pure and correct Tamil with the right accent, truly a difficult, challenging and learning experience for him. This has encouraged him to opt for difficult, challenging and different roles in future also. Humble Maddy gives all credit to director Seeman who moulded him into the role. True Maddy, but he had such a wonderful, talented and unassuming person to mould, don�t you agree?

You can act with Madhavan � �Arya� producer announces
- 07.03.2006

In the present day and age, just about everything is being advertised. Even a flower shop has a hoarding in the road corner. Hindustan Lever, the makers of Fair and Lovely cream for men, has devised a novel way for publicizing the product.

Hindustan Lever has a tie-up with �Arya� producer and has evolved a competition for men. Targeting men between 25 and 30, the announcement for the competition is put up at mega shopping malls, multiplexes and by distributing pamphlets. The last date for entries is March 22.

In the first round, 100 contestants will be chosen. They will have to participate in a motorbike race on March 26. 15 of the winners will be chosen. They will be trained for films including acting, fights and dance. The final contest will take place on April 2.

The winner will get to act with Madhavan in �Arya� as his college friend. The title for this contest given by Hindustan Lever is �Ungal Kadhayai Maatrungal.�

Astounded by this title, we asked director Balasekhar about it. �We have not been asked to change the film story. It only means change your life story by winning the competition and becoming an actor!� said Balasekar by way of explanation. Another valuable news we got from him is, �Arya� is to be released in May/June.

All aspiring actors and superstars�Hindustan Lever and the �Arya� film unit are ready to change your fate�are you?

From: Kollywoodfan on Sat Mar 11 10:58:52 2006. [Full View]

Well I watched Thambi last night, and I got to say it was really very enjoyable (at least worth a watch on DVD or VHS)...Some comments:

Madhavan: Yes, after his classy chocolate hero successes, it is quite difficult to see him repeatedly with his bulging eyes, screaming threats at everyone and then beating them up, however there is a reason...

Pooja: This is probably the movie where she impressed me the most. She is pretty and brings the cuteness factor to her role, without being annoying. After Meera Jasmine, I feel like she is the perfect match for Maddy.

Villian: Usually these kind of stories have an irritating villian who hams his way thru in the process ruining the whole film...But it didn't happen here...he was pretty likeable for the most part since he was distinctly shown as having a good and bad side

Songs: Awesome Awesome songs and picturization. The simple dances/costumes/settings were all beautiful...Pooja and Madhavan simply shined in these songs...

Comedy: Getting to the minuses, there were really no need for Vadivelu in this film, because the only thing he had to be was be the bud of the color (or lack of it) jokes...

Flashback was also great (Vikram's dad, the mother, and sister were all memorable), and because of this Maddy's actions are justified for the most part...Poovanathil is a melodious song!

Some great scenes: College Award Ceremony, All the encounters btwn Pooja and Madhavan

All in all, I have to say that this movie is very very entertaining and it does have a strong message for people. If u're and haven't seen this, go ahead...

Maddy�s pet parrots and a talking problem
March 15, 2006

When Madhavan visited Vikram recently, he was amazed by a voice that welcomed him. It was a parrot that was calling �Chiyan, Chiyan.� Yeah, that was Vikram�s pet parrot talking. Impressed by the performance, Maddy thought that he too would go for a parrot at home. He bought one from the local pet shop but that refused to speak despite intense training from the guy. When he was shooting in Thailand some time back, there he saw a talking parrot and bought that instantly. Back home, he trained it to speak but unfortunately, the parrot seemed to understand only Thai language. Maddy is wringing his hands now.

Busy time for Seeman
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 14, 2006]

Thanks to good response for his Thambi, an elated Seeman is all set to commence a couple of projects soon.

He says, �though the release of Thambi was delayed, I was confident that my hard work will be rewarded. I thank the people for welcoming my film well.'

Asked about his forthcoming ventures, Seeman, says, 'I will be doing a movie titled Samaran which would be about the life in rustic and rural villages. Then plans are on to direct Cheran for a movie titled Puratchi (Revolution). If things go well, I am planning to do a movie with Madhavan again'.

Busy schedule ahead for Seeman.

Seeman wants Vikram or Vijay for his Puratchi
March 20, 2006

Seems like Seeman is always looking for socially conscious films. His recent release Thambi had a relevant message for these violence torn times. Thambi�s good run has enthused him to form his own production company called A productions. His next film is titled Puratchi. He claims that everyone need not become a gun-toting, flag-waving rebel. We can all do our own brand of reform in small ways. It would all add up to a massive revolution. This he said would be the crux of Puratchi.

His dream project, Samaran, would also take off soon. It is about a chieftain in the Ramanathapuram district. It was based on real life instances with some imaginary additions. The story stresses that no one can enslave us unless we allow ourselves to be enslaved. Seeman disclosed that he has Vikram or Vijay in mind for the role.

Madhavan�s hour of glory
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 21, 2006]

Two hits in a row has put Madhavan's career back on right track. Be it the brief role in Rang de Basanti or the heroic role in Thambi, Madhavan has managed to leave an impression among the movie buffs.

Thrilled at the good response for his role in Thambi, Maddy giving due credit to director Seeman says, 'He has put in a lot of homework to implement the idea he had conceived. The story developed in a huge form on a much higher plane than we visualized. It was literally a test of my character (Thondaman Thambi) with Seeman fine-tuning it.'

'When I slipped into the character it was possible to do it without batting the eyelid. Honestly, it was something I could not manage it while dubbing. Seeman's idea sounded fine but I had my doubts of carrying it off'.

Madhavan, introduced by Maniratnam, says, 'Maniratnam made me act in Alaipayuthey and here too Seeman seemed to know exactly how to get the best out of me'.

Thambi in Hindi too
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, March 23, 2006]

Mid Valley Entertainment, the production house which produced Madhavan starrer Thambi has lofty plans.

Headed by Datuk Eswaran, the company has chalked out various plans that include producing half-a-dozen Tamil movies every year besides distributing films and also acquiring satellite and overseas rights of the movies.

Says Datuk Eswaran: 'We have also acquired a few theatres in Kanchipuram, Vellore and Madurai and efforts are on to digitalise them and release movies through satellites in these theatres'.

Buoyed by the good response for their home production Thambi, Mid Valley is planning to do the remake of Thambi in Hindi with Madhavan playing the title role again.

Madhavan to be directed by Khushboo's husband!
- 28.03.2006

Viewers did wonder if like S J Suryah, Sundar C would forget his work as director once he became an actor. Fortunately, he has only 'Thalainagaram' as his acting project.

'Giri' starring Arjun and Rima Sen was Khushboo's own production. The film ran a 100 days for Arjun's action, Vadivelu's comedy and Rima's glamour. Encouraged by this, Khushboo is ready to produce her next film.

Like 'Giri,' Sundar C will direct this film, with Madhavan as hero.

Basking in the victory of 'Thambi' and 'Rang De Basanti,' Madhavan is at present shooting for 'Arya.' Bhavana is the heroine, 'Love Today' Balasekaran is the director and the film is nearing completion. After this, Madhavan is all set to work in Khushboo's production. This would be his second film under Sundar C's direction.

Khushboo is looking out for a suitable heroine for Madhavan. But even without finalizing that, the film title has been given as 'Rendu.'

Could that be significant since this is the second film Khushboo is producing?

Maddy to pair with Nayantara?
March 28, 2006

It has been raining hits for Madhavan. Flushed with the success of Thambi, the chocolate face hero said he was glad to prove that he also fits the bill, when it comes to playing �toughie� characters.

He has currently two projects in the pipeline - �Arya� and Madesh�s Sarkar, and both have whipped up a lot of expectations. Madhavan will soon star in Sundar C�s home banner, �Irandu.� For �Irandu�, Khushboo�s children have singled out on Nayantara to play Madhavan�s ladylove but it all depends on the availability of dates.

IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 28, 2006]

Kushboo is all set commence her next home production. After a decent showing in her debut production venture Giri, Kushboo chose to focus her energies on small screen. Meanwhile her husband and noted director Sundar C ventured to play the hero in a movie titled Thalainagaram.

After a brief interval, Kushboo joins hands with her husband for her production venture which would feature Madhavan in the lead role. Sundar C would be directing the movie.

Kushboo says, the shooting would commence in a week.

Meanwhile the actress is elated that her mega-serial Kalki on a Tamil Satellite channel will be completed its 500th episode on 3rd April.

Asked about acting in the Telugu movie Stalin being directed by Murugadoss, she says, �I play Chiranjeevi�s elder sister in the film. The script was good, my role was good and above all I was paid well.�

Kushboo is also planning to start a new tele-serial.

Getting busy is actress Kushboo.

Madhavan was never offered Guru

Source: Mid Day

Madhavan
On hearing reports that he refused Ratnam�s Guru, the RDB actor had this to say, �Am I mad to say no to Mani Sir? He made my career in Hindi films. I�d happily accept any role he offered me.�

As it turns out, Ratnam�s cast will have Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Vidya Balan in the film. But the film has no second hero. It was expected that Madhavan would bail out his mentor from this casting crisis, when he needed him the most.

Madhavan insisted, �First of all, Mani Sir hasn�t approached me for this film.� We wonder who�s spinning this tale.
From: Kollywoodfan on Sat Apr 1 11:26:08 2006. [Full View]

Madhavan says it�s Vedanth, who pours him luck!!
April 01, 2006

Madhavan is on a high because two of his films, RDB and Thambi are running to packed houses. While RDB has him only for 10 minutes of screen time, his character is the pivot around which the protagonists move. In Thambi, he plays a modern day rebel. The actor strongly believes that his baby boy, Vedanth, has brought him luck. Wherever he goes he is either called Ajay Rathod(RDB) or Thambi.

Probe him a little about the casting drama in his mentor Maniratnam�s next film, Guru, the actor gets excited(tense?). Maniratnam has started work on Guru which has Abhishek Bachan, Aishwarya Rai and Vidya Balan.
The hunt is on for the second hero. Mani has always had trouble finding actors for his Hindi films. His films are thematically different and the narrative is the king. For all the praise that they shower on him, Bollywood stars cannot shed their strait jacket image easily and bring his characters alive. The fate of SRK in Dil se and Ajay Devgan in Yuva is a bitter reminder to them. The films did well but did nothing much to boost the star value. Therefore, this time even the hunk John Abraham has declined to do the role in Guru. Therefore, Mani expected that Maddy would come to his rescue. There was news that Mani had turned to his prot�g� Madhavan and that he had also eased himself out. Maddy gets very angry if you tell him this. He says, �I revere Mani sir, he made my career in films. He has not spoken to me about Guru. I am sure, if my role is quite exciting, he would tell me and I would have no hesitation to do the role�. A case of who should put out the first hand?

Maddy: �I replaced Shah Rukh in RDB�
April 20, 2006

Madhavan must really think it is crazy how a decision taken purely out of constraints of time would bring in such raving results. Did you know that Maddy was the first choice of the director for the role of the pampered and confused industrialist scion, Karan Singhania and Shahrukh Khan for the role of the Flight Lieutenant, Ajay Rathod in RDB? Maddy opted out of Karan�s role basically because his Tamil film, Thambi was shaping up simultaneously and required about 7 months time. So, he chose the smaller role of Ajay. How the fortunes have smiled on him and he has become the darling of the masses although he appears only for 20 minutes.

Madhavan talks excitedly about his change of roles and says, �See, I replaced SRK and walked off with the honours. I am sure, Siddharth who played Karan was better suited and I could not have pulled it off that well. The film�s strength is about characters and any mismatch would have spelt doom. RDB has become the defining film in our recent history and at a recent screening at IIT, Madras the response was simply overwhelming. I am sure the youth of this country have some bright ideas to shake up the system. If RDB is a small step towards awakening their potential, we have all succeeded in our pursuit�.
_____________________________________________________

* I havent seen the movie ... So cant really imagine and judge how the swapping of characters mentioned in the 1st paragraph would have looked ... Maybe somebody who's seen RDB can shed some light ...

* Maddy, the darling of the masses .... That's excellent !!

* Look at the maturity he displays in his little talk here ... Very honest (abt his replacing SRK and how well Siddharth had done his part), and modest (abt his contribution to the youth and ideas etc) .... Maddy rocks ...

Sinthiya,

I think MADDY said that line "I REPLACED SHAARUKH" (that means -- He himself was talking about the replacement rather than the DIRECTOR'S WAIT FOR HIM )

So, I found that line of MADDY funny

No offense meant.

Guys, I just finished watching THAMBI !!!!! Oh my Goddddd ..... What a movie !!!! Just one word to begin with ..... AWESOME !!!!

What a power-packed intense performace from Maddy .... SARADVEDI !!!

I was waiting for so long for an action movie from him, and a transition from his lover-boy image ... And this is the answer to it ... He was there in AE, but not quite .... Here, he's an EXPLOSIVE !!! This will sure be a turning point in his career .... Hats off to such an INCREDIBLE performance .... He truly deserves more ...

Some of the highlights that I waana share for now ...

* Beautiful story and theme on non-violence said in a great way ... An innocent guy with a normal and happy family gets into gore by some unfortunate happenings due to his kind heart ... The point to be taken though, is everytime he goes after the baddies, he stops at one point to distinguish himself and prove that he's the supporter of Non-Violence ... Wonderful directorial work there !!

* Excellent screenplay, especially the sequences where Maddy kicks the baddies, and turns back to walk ... The BGM was fabulous ... I got goose-pimps ... If I had seen this in a Madras theatre, I would have whislted like crazy ... Also his rolling eyes to show his anger and frustration was well portrayed ... Also everytime he kicks a baddie and advises them, the wind blowing on his hair to show some special effect was indeed special ... His martial-art/karate moves whenever he gets ready to fight was a treat to watch ....

* All the other elements were also there in the movie, so that it doesnt become an off-beat movie in the art genre ... Elements like songs, glamor, nitty-gritty comedy stuff from Vadivelu, excellent family song, were all there ... But the director had taken enough care that all these extra elements do not distract the audience from the focal point of the movie .... It's funny at a time when story is INSERTED among commerical elements to make a movie, it's a different thing to note the reverse ...

* Some tearjerking scenes .... The first one is where Maddy cries hugging his Dad's body, and that whole scene ... The 2nd one is where the baddie stabs Maddy and he asks away the student who offers to help, and falls on the ground ... He thinks abt his Childhood and imagines as if he's falling on his mom (Sumithra's) lap remembering her singing that childhood song ... Man, I couldnt stop cryin for that ... And then, Manivannan talkin to him when he's in coma, asking him, "Thambi, ezhunthiree" ....

That's all I can recollect for now ... But on the whole, this is the kind of movie that has to rock the BO for 25 weeks .... It truly deserves it ... And I wish Maddy continues to make his guy-fans happy along the way from now, as well as maintaining his lover-boy image to make his gal-fans happy !!!!

MADDY ROCKS !! THAMBI ROCKS !!!!

More to come later ....

Wow, It's amazing how I thought exactly the opposite abt the two movies ... I thought RUN was so unrealistic, cos Maddy just acts as a gurl-chaser, very soft in nature, throughout the first half, and then all of a sudden, starts beatin up the bad guy ... Even in the climax, when he's almost beaten up to death, the gurl says, "Hey come on you can do it," and then he wakes up to bash everybody after that ...

But here, his character was so well etched ... His training in martial arts, the reason why he becomes so frustrated with the happenings in the society, the reason why he goes against that bad guy, etc etc, was so realistic I thought ... Especially cos, he explains all along the way why he's doin what, made much sense to me !!!

Thanks for your feedback though KB ....

Director Seeman under Bala�s banner

tamil.galatta.com

Director Seeman is to start his new venture under Bala. Bala is a well known and a famous director. He has produced a few films. He is to produce a new film with Seeman directing it. �I am sure to give a different film from my previous ones. As usual story will be the centre point for my film� says the director. Seeman was the one who directed Thambi. �I have gained even more confidence on seeing the success of Thambi. I am also assured that my style of making films is acceptable among people� says Seeman. His failure film Iniyavalae and Veeranadai were the main reasons for stars refusing to accept his offer for Thambi. �Situations have now changed after the success of my Thambi� says a happy Seeman.

Madhavan�s film at international festival!
- 29.04.2006

Madhavan is very happy that 120 prints of �Thambi� were made for Tamilnadu. �This is the highest number of prints for a film of mine,� he says happily. �Kannathil Muthamittaal� and �Anbe Sivam� in which he stars have been screened at international festivals. Another film of his is going to be screened at a film festival soon.

Directed by Rajeev Anchal, English film �Nothing but Life� is at the finishing stages. The film deals with human relationships. Talking about this, Madhavan says the film will be screened at international festivals before a formal release here.

Recently, Tamil film �Ram� won awards for best actor and best music at the Cypress International Film Festival. �Nothing but Life� is also expected to win awards.

Madhavan is acting at present in �Arya.� He could be acting in another Seeman film.

There�s also a rumour that Prithiviraj is to co-star with Madhavan, so he has not yet given his call sheet.

We will wait for Madhavan to give us good news about his film soon!

Today watched Nala Damayanthi for the first time..

I heard that Kamal actually wrote this story for himself. Since he was impressed with Madhavan during Anbe Sivam he casted him.

Madhavan did total justice to the character. Great job. He excelled in comedy as well as serious scenes.

As an innocent Palakad brahmin, he excelled.
The whole movie was refreshing.

Probably Only madhavan among young star could have done justice to that role.

Maddy's pair chosen: Guru

tamil.galatta.com

Maniratnam is working on the film Guru with Maddy starring in it. There was confusion in choosing Maddy's pair for a long time. Finally it is announced that Vidya Balan has been chosen as Maddy's pair. After Ayudha Ezhuthu, there was a long silence from Maniratnam. He is back with Guru. Maniratnam is known for his different styles of directing films. In this film he is working on the concept of bringing in two pairs. Abishek Bachchan - Aishwarya Rai is one pair and Maddy - Vidya Balan is the other pair.
_____________________________________________________

I think the Maddy - Vidya pair will outbeat the AB - Ash pair for two reasons ....

Madhavan's movies always have great music....even his supposed mass film thambi has great music...although i know he has nothing to do with inspiring such music...Jay Jay was a good differentiation to his usual romantic boy role...although it was abit like Run chasing for the heroine without villain interplay....I guess thats what madhavan's forte is...the lover boy roles which he has made his own and looks very realistic in it..that means we should look forward to Arya.

Btw a second hero is chosen for Arya and his name is praveen kumar from chennai....sounds utterly familiar to the owner of pravunplugged.blogspot.com

...yes, I agree...but I was impressed that a South Indian actor had so much prominence in a film that starred Superstar Aamir Khan himself that's all...Maybe

From: Hulkster on Wed May 3 22:24:18 2006. [Full View]

Aamir Khan is not exactly a superstar..that belongs to shahrukh khan..u can say Aamir has the popularity of kamal there......remember that Maddy started out in Hindi before moving on the big league and since Maddy is a tight favourite with MR..it could possibly have given him the chance to have more prominence.

Maddy wants Bala!!
May 12, 2006

It is said that success breeds confidence. With the good run of Thambi Madhavan is back in the reckoning as a salable star. He now struts with his head high and has declared his interest in working with established directors. He says, �only when you work with good directors your talent is brought out fully. I would love to work with Bala who brought a new persona to Vikram and Surya. There is a different Madhavan somewhere inside me. I would love to showcase him to the world. Hope I would get the chance soon.� Is Bala listening?
_____________________________________________________

Thambi is fast paced action film narrated differently with the tamil society in mind....there was no over acting...perhaps the scene where he starts telling about himself might be a bit of over acting..but still a classy performance from madhavan...the film had very powerful dialogues though...

sorry hulkster i don't agree with u on either one.

�Go veg� � Maddy�s message to youth
May 19, 2006

Madhavan goes on the internet asking people to abstain from non-vegetarian food. This is one of his gestures to prevent cruelty towards animals through the organization PETA. Released exclusively through e-card called �Change Everything, the message urges people to be kind towards animals.

The card footage showing extreme cruelty such as cramming chickens in a small cage, hanging calves and cows upside down, their throats slit.

�Animals too are intelligent and they too can feel pain as you and me,� says Maddy. The video contains music by international vegan star Moby and colorful photographs and quotes from other vegetarian celebrities, like Mallika Sherawat, Bryan Adams, Gwyneth Paltrow, Pamela Anderson and Anil Kumble.

Persons forwarding this card to maximum number of people will be given an iPod.

That is an interesting message from Maddy indeed and look ward to a forwarding of this card next time you check your mail.

Wonder why these stars come up against NV. Its of no use. Instead they can advise against having alcohol as 2 much of it can lead to killing the lives of many humans. They wont do that because most of the stars themselves drink. If we stop eating chicken nothing is goin to change, but if many drunkards stop having alcohol a lot can change!!

ansa...good point...i believe celebrities only support issues that'll increase their publicity in some way....we can't expect them to take views on certain topics....they will not...

From: Thirumaran on Fri May 26 23:56:47 2006. [Full View]

The answer he said to the important question..

There is not even a little truth in that news. Pooja is a good friend of mine. Before i acted 2 movies with sada, they said the same thing. Some even wrote that i am leading a family life with Sada. Even if meet accidently too, they make a big issue out of this. Some people are interested in creating problem in my family. But sorry to say that in my family no problem will come.

Other things in that interviews were..

1. The news that he increased his salary after the success of Thambi is not true. For the past 3 years he did not increase his salary
2. Even now he says that for a movie he gets an advance of at most 10000 for any movie.
3. He said he started believeing in Vaastu shastra after a particular incident.
4. His son Vedanth who is 7 month old is quite active and he is enjoying every moment with him and he is proud for this one achievement of him
5. He went recently to london to make his body trim for his new movie with MR, Guru.
6. Madhavan said he is running his own software company.
7. He recently bought a new cycle from london which has 29 gears. With this cycle he said he can go in high speed in top gear as well as ride that even in mountains with low gear.

The answer he said to the important question..

There is not even a little truth in that news. Pooja is a good friend of mine. Before i acted 2 movies with sada, they said the same thing. Some even wrote that i am leading a family life with Sada. Even if meet accidently too, they make a big issue out of this. Some people are interested in creating problem in my family. But sorry to say that in my family no problem will come.

this is why actors dont like to pair up with same heroine more than once.... if they have some chemistry on screen, soon the media creates this kind of stories.

Arya�s trouble
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, June 03, 2006]

No, this one is not about the hero Arya. This is about the film Arya.

Madhavan�s much publicized Arya is still a non-starter. The movie to be made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu is being directed by Love Today fame Balasekaran and produced by Manoj Kumar. After tasting success in Thambi, Madhavan was keen to begin Arya.

However only a few portions were shot. Rumors of bringing in another hero into the project are also doing the rounds. Madhavan is reportedly angry at his dates being wasted by the production house and has started to shoot for Manirathinam�s Hindi venture Guru.

He says that the producer and the director should be approached to know the reasons for the delay.

Meanwhile it is also said that Prakash Raj, who is also a part of this film, is the cause for the delay, as he is demanding a higher salary.

The exact reasons are not known. Let�s hope the shooting commence at the earliest.

The chocolate boy Madhavan�s Thambi has added a feather to his cap by running successfully for 100 days. After Priyasakhi and a general feeling of being slotted in a chocolate-hero image, he has given a performance and a look that is intense, deeply emotional and that of a basically good person.

The music is good, the camera work is superb and the story something that today�s society in a state of chaos probably needs. Seeman has excelled in the invigorating dialogues and ensuring that these are emoted and delivered properly.

I didn't like Thambi at all. Its a sad state of affairs when movies like that become hits and Madhavan's more soft/comic/romantic type of films don't. It means more movies of violence shouting and overacting and less of the romantic type.

Tharun Gopi with Madhavan?
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, September 07, 2006]

Tharun Gopi, whose maiden venture Thimiru, made it big is all set to commence his next movie.

This time the young director would be wielding the megaphone for a movie featuring Madhavan in the lead role.

Buzz is that Tharun Gopi's second venture would also revolve around Madurai and its adjoining areas. The movie has been tentatively titled Chennaiyil Irundhu Madurai.

The movie is expected to hit the floors once Madhavan completes Rendu opposite Reema Sen, being directed by Sundar C.

Madhavan is also slated to act in a movie titled Magizchi, which would be directed by Seeman. The two come together after a good outing in Thambi.

Meanwhile the shooting for Madhavan's bi-lingual Arya has been progressing at a snail's pace.

Tharun Gopi is also taking efforts to make his debut as director and has reportedly penned a script for himself. Plans are on to take to acting early next year.

Thambi is the only movie of the younger generation heroes that I bought and have viewed more than once. Its one of the most original character to ever come out of Tamil film industry. Really.

I guess its how people saw that. I saw more than an angry young man.

I see a very loving man...very eccentric too. Seeman crafted a very interesting way of handling violence. Apart from Ghandi's way, there is no other way to combat violence but with violence itself. Reminded me of my guru's (see my signature) movie The Unforgiven. Its essentially anti-violence movie, but at the end he had to blast his way out (when bad guy says, "See you in hell", he replies, "you first". Sure that he'd go to hell too).

Any other actor (no names here) would have done a cardboard performance but Madhavan gave it an extra edge. It recalls his performance in Ayutha Ezhuttu...very unpredictable, edgy, and his fury, like fire, dangerous if used the wrong way.

As I have mentioned elsewhere, Manirathnam, K. B and Kamal are wrong if you think that Madhavan has no talent. They know a good talent and they have made a great use of this young man.

Maniratnam wanting to have madhavan in every movie of his already gives you the hint just how massively talented the actor is. Thats very true grouch and i at times see abit of rajini's style of expressions in him when he was a villain when madhavan played AE role. A mix of rajini and kamal to say the least i would say.

Funny you should say that. In my review of AE, I wrote

"...I found myself fixed on Mathavan's episodes. His performance very much reminded me of Rajini in Tappu Talanggal, and to a certain extend, Kamal in Sathya - all monuments in those respectful stars' resume."

Hah! I wrote that immediately after watching the movie. My website's the testimonry. Even the mistakes are intact.

Grouch are you telling that the above point of mine was inspired from you or i did a lift like kaavya viswanathan?

Well actually i think he is the rightful heir to the throne of either kamal or rajini. He has their style of acting bit by bit interpersed with his less hectic way of conveying emotions. Meaning they dunt make a immediate impact but they grow slowly on you.

I'd like something meaty in this thread...rather than admiring each other's avatar. So, here we go...

Does anyone know what Rendu is about? And Arya?

And his role in Guru?

I think currently Madhavan ranks high among actors of his generation for this reason alone - he can and have done high-profile Hindi films. Not that I am a fan of HIndi films, just that the reach is bigger.

There is a lot more scope that can be found in his versatility that will impress international audience. His lingering presence in Rangde Basanthi, for instance. Whether or not he was on camera - he was there.

In my opinion, he does not have to be the next Kamal or the next Rajini, whatever. He can be just Madhavan, a unique actor, at the time when the craze seem to be trying to be larger than life. Madhavan is about as down-to-earth performer as anyone can be.

And mentioned by Hulkster - he has all the earlier before-stardom qualities of Kamal and Rajini combined. Stardom will only drive him to embark crass commercialism. Hope he remains an actor first, and a star later.

Happiness in Kollywood
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, September 28, 2006]

Bollywood movie Rang De Basanti featuring Aamir Khan, being nominated as the Indian entry to the prestigious Oscar Awards has thrilled Kollywood. The reason being the presence of Madhavan and Siddharth in the star cast.

The former plays a brief appearance in the movie, while the latter has a major role to play.

Madhavan said, 'I am not worried about the length of my role in the movie. I liked the role which I played, which was important to the movie. People were appreciative of my performance'.

Siddharth, on his part, was thrilled for it was his first Hindi venture. 'Being part of a movie featuring Aamir Khan made me proud'.

Let hope that Aamir's Rang De Basanti goes on to snatch the award and make the whole nation proud.

From: Hulkster on Wed Oct 11 7:35:55 2006. [Full View]

I have been guilty of not contributing as well. This is the description of his current films.

Rendu

This is a hilarious entertainer with him,reema sen and vadivel inside with Sundar C taking the direction. Not much info about Madhavan's role but currently its stated that the film has almost completed shooting.

Arya

This seems to be a return to his usual college boy romance roles but with a bit more negativity with Bhavana acting alongside him. The movie is directed by balasekaran and by right should have finished shooting even before VV released. But due to various constraints and producer issues the film has been temporarily stopped. No news of the film now.

Bengali film

I forgot the title of the movie but it supposedly about extra marital affair with a man betraying the wife. The film is supposedly multilingual and has two bengali actresses acting alongside him.

Hey, this sounds interesting. Another milestone for him.

This is what I admire in Madhavan, amaithiyaa irunthu pala kaariyam saathichirukkaaru.

Each time he is out there in Hindi or other language (?), he does not take out the trumpet and blow to the whole world. He just quietly do his job and comes back.

This is where, Hulkster and I agree, he has the streaks that made Rajini and Kamal popular outside of Tamil films scene.

Madhavan's other movie: "Nothing but Life"

Madhavan's first English film set for release
IANS [Thursday, July 27, 2006] ....

...........Madhavan is now hoping to score another hit with his debut English film "Nothing But Life" that will premiere in Mumbai soon.

Directed by award winning Kerala filmmaker Rajiv Anchal and shot entirely in the US, Madhavan plays Roby, a suicidal man who finds himself in a psychiatric ward.

The film shows Roby, an orphan, being taken to the US with help from a benevolent priest. He endears himself to fellow Keralites with his helpful nature in no time.

"He works as a barman in a casino in Las Vegas. He is a simple, happy-go-lucky guy who believes in helping people in distress. In the mission, he is ably assisted by two of his close friends Johnny (Madhupal) and a professor (Innocent)," Anchal told IANS.

The film takes a turn after Roby gambles his friend's money away on the day of his departure to India. Unable to withstand the guilt, he attempts suicide and finds himself in the psychiatric ward of a hospital.

In the hospital, life takes another turn for Roby when he runs into two women --a Kerala nurse Vandana (Kaveri), who reminds him of childhood sweetheart and the Kerala village he grew up in, and US-born Rachel, also admitted because she tried to commit suicide.

Tamil actor Nazar is the psychiatrist who puts Roby on the road to recovery.

Thimuru director with Maddy
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, October 14, 2006]

The big success of Thimiru has taken director Tharun Gopi to great heights. ....

This time he teams up with Madhavan for a movie titled Agaradhi to be produced by GV Films.

Yuvanshankar Raja will be composing music for the movie.

Throwing light on the film, Tharun Gopi, said, 'it is a movie with twists and turns. The main character in the movie is an encounter specialist and Madhavan would fit the role well'.

Another avenue for Madhavan to explore. I have no doubt that it will be another milestone in his career.

Madhavan drenched in 'Magizhchi' rains!
- 17.10.2006

One could say that Madhavan's market is slow but steady. He is making waves in Tamil, Hindi and Bengali too.

As far as Tamil is concerned, Madhavan is happy that 'Thambi' gave him an identity in the field. He liked working with Seeman and vice versa. In a confirmation of their happy working relationship, they are to collaborate again in nit one but two films. The first is a love story titled 'Magizhchi' that is to be like a poem on celluloid instead of the usual run of the mill love story.

The next film 'Pagalavan' will give Madhavan a strong character like the one in 'Thambi.' Right now, Madhavan is busy in Sundar C's 'Rendu.' He has also given call sheet for a film titled 'Arugil' produced by Prathap Pothan. This apart, there are discussions happening with tow big banners.

And this pertains only to Tamil. He also has some Hindi film assignments.

This is indeed 'Magizhchi' rain of luck for Madhavan!

Maddy it certainly did and even though AE and AS flopped/average his performance was too good to be thrashed along with the film's box office status. Thambi proved his capability to take on any role as well...great body language

Guru is a villain role...but i actually want to see how he performs in magizhchi and rendu...rendu would see how good his comedy gels with the audience...since he has not performed too much comedy roles.

Whoa! Suddenly onslaught of posts of Madhavan. Good.

His rise is not meteoric. Its a slow, careful climb. Along the way, he showed many sides of his talent.

I think his biggest asset is comedy. Its bloody tough to play comedy. Both physical and verbal and he tackled it well in films like Nala Thamayanthi, Ethiri and some parts of Anbe Sivam.

Of course, playing negative roles. He does not shy from playing bad guys as we saw in AE and now in Guru. These are the qualities that will make him a star to watch out for. Plus there is a bigger audience out there in Hindi and international market. I think right now, he is the most recognisable face among the Tamil actors outside of Tamil nadu after Rajini and Kamal. Bravo!

Maddy�s strategy to evade female fans
Oct 20, 2006

Madhavan will not be home this Diwali. He spends the auspicious Diwali day in the shoots of his upcoming Rituparno Gosh movie Sunglass in Kolkatta. The heartthrob is not very pleased with the fact that he will be away on a Diwali day. However, he asserts he will make the Diwali day special with Rituparno, Jaya Bachchan, and Konkona while at the sets. That�s a good let out for the disappointment though.

Maddy has constructed his spanking new dream home in Chennai and has moved to it recently with his family which comprises of his wife, kid, mother, and father. His career ladder is on a rise with more than half a dozen movies to his credit. He is shooting for Arya and Rendu in Tamil apart from his Sunglass in Hindi with the noted director of Raincoat Rituparno Gosh. Talks are on for Prathap Pothen�s next movie, Ram Gopal Varma�s next Tamil venture, and the noted director duo of Hindi Abbas-Mustan�s debut Tamil project. He has already signed for Thambi Seeman�s next project Magizchi. Madhavan is a happy man.

I am enjoying the attention I receive from the female fan following in Kolkatta, Maddy acknowledges with a smirk. The fans are really friendly and the people are warm and affectionate in Kolkatta, adds Maddy with his brand smile. However, he has had nightmarish experience too with his female fans. Some fanatic fans of Maddy tried to break into his hotel room in Kolkatta to catch a glimpse of him and to get close to him.
Maddy has clear lines drawn between him and the fans, particularly female fans. Though he enjoys the female attention, he states that he has had enough experience about the girls who want more than just a handshake from him. So what does he do to resist the temptation? His family photographs with his wife and son in the wallet comes in handy during these situations. A cold shower is another alternative, opines Maddy.

What is it with Rituparno Gosh�s Sunglass who is famous for his offbeat movies? Maddy plays the role of a seven-year-itch type husband in Sunglass who is yearning for an extra-marital affair.

It is been interesting portraying that role onscreen since which is totally not-me. Did he draw inspiration from any of the industry sources? He states that he liked Sanjeev Kumar in Pati Patni Aur Woh and Salman Khan in Biwi No 1 for their portrayal of such roles. I am sure with the help of Ritu, I recreated the whole impish disloyalty onscreen, Maddy replies confidently.

He is fervently waiting for the release of his upcoming Guru where he plays the role of an antagonist opposite Vidya Balan. He is excited by the fact that Guru is his fifth movie with Maniratnam. If all of Maddy�s pipeline projects materialize, his fans are sure to witness festivities in theatres in 2007

Prakashraj troubles Maddy.
Nov 04, 2006
Aarya

Madhavan�s Arya seems to be another movie in the huge list of long time production ventures. Aside from the other reasons that are being said for the delay of the movie, lack of Prakashraj�s dates was quoted predominantly. Arya is in mid air and the director is reportedly waiting for the dates of Prakashraj who plays the vital role in the movie.

Prakashraj, on the other hand seems to have committed for a huge number of movies, which apparently led to the mismanagement of his dates.

Adding fuel to the fire, for reasons unknown Prakash stormed out of the sets of Arya during shoot breaks. This, it appears that, had created opinion differences between producer Manojkumar and director Balasekharan.

Madhavan - Ready with releases
IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 10, 2006]

Madhavan is confident that his bi-lingual Aarya will be completed and would release before this year-end.

Talking to Indiaglitz on the sidelines of a function organized by popular radio channel in Chennai on Thursday, Madhavan, said, 'My Rendu will be released on 17 November and soon Aarya would also be completed'.

Aarya being directed by Balasekaran features Bhavana opposite Madhavan.

Asked about the delay, Madhavan, said, 'I am clueless. I gave bulk dates for the movie but it could not be completed. Finally we crossed all hurdles and managed to complete the shooting. After Rendu, Aarya would be released'.

Madhavan is upbeat about his role in Hindi movie Guru, directed by his mentor Manirathinam. 'I am happy to work with Mani sir. Every time, I learn new things working in Madras Talkies banner. The movie was initially planned for a worldwide release on 8 December. Now it has been postponed to 22 December'.

I am finishing the year on a positive note, he adds.

hopefully two (Rendu and Guru) more movies for Madhavan before the end of this year......

Rendu` censored!
By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 12 November , 2006, 17:54

Sundar.C’s Rendu was censored with an `A` Certificate on Saturday. The film with Madhavan, Reema Sen, Vadivelu and Anushka in the lead is a comedy riot with a murder mystery as the background.

Says Sundar C: “Rendu is a roller coaster ride for the entire family. It has all the ingredients in the right proportion and is sure to appeal to all section of audiences.” The film is now slated for release on November 17 worldwide.

The Maddy-Vadivelu comedy scenes are said to bring the house down. The glamour girls Reema and Anushka along with D.Imman’s rocking numbers shot on Redang Islands are the other highlights of the film.

[tscii]Rendu for �A�dults only � a setback? Nov 23, 2006

Sundar C�s direction venture Rendu that is produced by Kushboo starring Madhavan and Reema Sen in the lead went through the scissors of Censor Board officials recently. After deliberations, it was decided that the movie would be released with A certification.

Rendu stars Madhavan in two roles and Reema Sen and Anushka are the two bombshells to supply the glamour quotient. On the other hand, the officials raised objection to certain scenes stating that there is way too much violence and blood shedding and demanded for cuts. However, Sundar explained the significance of those scenes and declined the officials� request. Following this, the officials decided to grant A certification to the movie.

Maddy plays the role of an employee in a trade fair in one of the characters and an assassin in the other. The bloodshed executed by the assassin role seemed to have caught the attention of the censor officials eventually making it imperative to issue A certification. While this may initially prevent the family audiences from visiting the theaters, the might not affect movie�s overall result, one can assume.

Rendu is great fun in case you are looking for some goofball masala comedy. It is an out and out Maddy film as he comes in a dual role for the first time. He is a treat for your eyes with his whirlwind energy, larkish antics and perfect comedy timing with Vadivelu. Writer-Director Sundar.C keeps you engrossed with this far-out fantasy.

Sakthi (Madhavan) comes to the city in search of a job and stays with his uncle Kirikalam (Vadivelu) who runs a magic show in an exhibition ground in Chennai. Sakthi meets Velli (Reema Sen) who runs a mermaid stall next to theirs and it is love at first sight for him. Simultaneously the director deviate your attention to a series of murders that happens in Tirunelvali, Trichi and Madurai where the killer leaves the date and time of the next murder that he is going to commit! This leaves CBI officer (K.Bhagyaraj) in confusion and soon the trail leads him to Chennai and Sakthi.

It turns out that the killer Kannan (Madhavan), a look-alike of Sakthi has a story to say. His entire family and lover (Anushka) were wiped out by the machinations of a group of people who wanted to usurp the local temple property to build a factory. The villains in a mad spree kill 150 people in a large household and set the house on fire. Now Kannan who had a miraculous escape is blind and wants to take revenge on them.

Inevitably, Rendu is a ceaseless clash between the virtuous and the vicious. The patchy storyline is borrowed from two Dileep films from Malayalam Chess in the first half and Kalyana Raman in the flashback episode some inspiration from Bone Collector. This masala mix has been packaged with right dose of comedy, glamour and violence. The two girls- Reema and Anushka have outdone each other in the glamour department especially in songs. Reema is adequate while a tall Anushka, the new find is promising.

It is the charisma of Madhavan that makes the film watchable. He looks good and proves his mettle for comedy and with Vadivelu the combo runs riot. D.Imman�s songs for a change are peppy and hummable. The songsNeeyen Thozhiya� is melodious while Mobila Mobila.. is for the masses. On the whole, Rendu is corny but unpretentious and adequate time pass for an unfussy viewer.

Rendu - Twin tales
IndiaGlitz [Friday, November 24, 2006]

Director Sundar C sure knows to work on a formula. He has been doing this for the last decade or so. In Rendu too, he has done just that. He has taken a patented MGR formula story and laced it with his typical humor. And for most part, it works.

As the title suggests, the movie is about two, who resemble each other. One goes on a revenge mode landing the other in soup. Madhavan plays a dual role in the company of Reema Sen and newcomer Anushka.

Sundar C has a nose for workable comedy and it shows through in the first half. With Vadivelu playing a magician in an exhibition assisted by his nephew Madhavan, it is humor all through. Vadivelu and Sundar C combination again has uncorked another winner.

Madhavan plays the dual role well. After Thambi, Madhavan has succeeded in showcasing himself as an action hero. Reema Sen and Anushka fill the glamour quotient well. The latter has overtaken Reema Sen at several places.

The movie begins with Sakthi (Madhavan) coming in search of a job and stays with his uncle Karikalan (Vadivelu), a magician, in Chennai. Sakthi comes across Valli (Reema Sen), who earns her livelihood by doing a few tricks in the exhibition.After initial misunderstanding, they develop a liking for each other.

Meanwhile, a series of murders occurs in the State and the investigating officer (Bhagyaraj) unearths a striking similarity between the deaths and decides to nab the killer. Eventually, Sakthi is held responsible for the deaths and is locked in prison.

Enters Kannan (Madhavan). Claiming that he was the original killer, he helps Sakthi escape from prison. He narrates his story to Sakthi.

Kannan and his family members lived in Kumbakonam and his father was a marriage contractor. During a wedding Kannan comes across Jothy (Anushka) and the inevitable romance happens. Meanwhile, a rich NRI with the connivance of the local bigwigs decide to usurp farming lands and set up factories in Kumbakonam. Anushka�s father stoutly resists the attempt. Enraged, he kills everyone in the marriage hall by setting it on fire.

Kannan escapes the mishap and vows to teach the evil men a lesson.

All boils down to climax, when both Sakthi and Kannan encounter the rich industrialist.

It's Maddy all the way. Looks refreshing and does his dual role with panache. Reema Sen and Anushka do their parts well. They appear in a couple of songs each and ooze glamour wearing skimpy costumes.

The real scene-stealer is Vadivelu. Playing the magician, whose plans backfire and is at the receiving end all the time, Vadivelu evokes good humour.

Also in the cast includes Manivannan, Santhanam, Bala Singh and Mayilsamy. Imman's music is loud but for Kurai Ondrum Illai.

Stunts by Thalapathy Dinesh and cinematography by M Prasadh are all adequate.

Sundar C has dished out a commercial entertainer with enough masala to work in this winter season.

Rendu is a masala laugh riot.

I think Madhavan is so bad with his english and such a bad actor. I only liked him in Alaiyapathuthe and Nala Dimanthe(Hilarious).( -Deleted-Mod) I hate him in Thambi. He overacts way too much in Thambi. (Ipu naa ena saiya? IPU NAA YENA SAIYA! and Amadhi and Vedikau and Pathikitu yeriyadhu0> To say even more, his yelling in Thambi is so funny. He way too much overacts in Thambi and Run. When one guy yells, he starts screaming the loudest. He is a loosu.

Madhavan plays a journalist in Mani Rathnam�s Guru
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, November 28, 2006]

Though essentially a Hindi movie, there is a lot of curiosity over Mani Rathnam�s Guru in Tamil.

Mani Rathnam is going to release the movie in Tamil after dubbing. Since Madhavan is a prominent star here, the expectations are riding high.

Madhavan just had Irandu (earlier named Rendu) released. The film has opened to decent collections.

In Guru, Madhavan plays a journalist.

The man with a perceptive mind and a well-honed sense of humour says that acting as a scribe (in the film) has helped him know what it means to pose questions.

As ever, Madhavan is full of adjectives about his mentor Mani Rathnam.

�He is full of energy. During the filming of Guru, he was all charged up,� says Madhavan. He adds that Guru would be an extraordinary film. After all, his own Guru (Mani Rathnam) is extraordinary.

Madhavan says that he would do any role that Mani Rathnam asks him to do.

Madhavan is very close to Abhishek and says Guru will take Junior Bachchan many steps forward.

Rendu- A hit overseas!

Maddy has once again proved that he has an opening overseas and in Tamilnadu. His Rendu (Now Irandu) has collected 5160 pounds (approximately Rs 4.50 Lakhs) from two screens in UK and is at second place at UK Top Five. In Canada and Malaysia too, the film took an excellent opening.

Maddy seems to have a huge fan following overseas especially among Sri Lankan Tamils who form a bulk of Tamil film viewers. In fact among overseas Tamil distributors, Maddy�s rating is at number four after Rajni, Kamal and Vijay which is highly impressive.

In Chennai city, the film had to clash with Dhoom-2 but still emerged a winner and on Monday it was holding on with a steady 85 percent. In Coimbatore area Rendu took 90 percent and in Madurai an impressive 85 percent.. In B and C stations, people simply love the Vadivelu- Maddy comedy scenes.

Just now saw "Rendu" film in Udhayam... Gotcha say... maddy has improved a lot!!! his dance movements now includes squatting action . But still, during the songs actors aaduradhukku badhila camera thaan nalla aadudhu

The movie is like 5 in 1 DVD set. You can have the pleasure of watching 4 or 5 tamil movies in this single film. nalla kalavai kadhai . Both the heroine's tummy gets more screen time compared to the double role of hero . Music is a serious noise pollution. The director is very generous, in the sense he gives everyone in the audience the satisfaction of predicting the screenplay accurately . Throughout the film he explores new ways of exposing the heroines and wetting up the new heroine (dunno her name but ) . I dunno why I watched this film ...

Hehe, what's going on??

Anyway, I just saw Priyamana Thozhi again. It's such a sweet movie in typical Vikraman...a shame that it didn't do well at the box office.

Despite certain overly sentimental scenes...Madhavan gave a solid performance along with cute Jo and Sridevi. The songs were good too. The comedy is also fantastic, esp Livingston!

Just finished Priyasakhi...although it was a rehash of previous films and tended to drag here and there, overall very touching and entertaining...

Madhavan was adorable in the film both as the suave Romeo and as the traditional family boy. As far as Sadha, I think this is her career's best role...and she did complete justice to it. She basically stole the show as the spoiled brat at first, the lover, and then the suffering mother. She was brilliant, however it was surprising to see how much glamour she showed despite saying at one time that the only thing she'd ever do was wear sleeveless. I guess that's all gone now.

Aishwarya was annoying, which I guess means that she did well, since she was technically the villi of the film. And the father was very good. I felt like whistling when he slapped her at the end. Madhavan's family was also very sweet.

Anyway it's an old movie, so I'm guessing a lot of people have seen it, but for those who haven't, it's definitely worth a watch.

Maddy spoiled himself in the name of "Good cinema"
I still remember the days we (our guys) watched RUN more than 10 times
After that, in the name of "Good cinema" he gave off-beat movies continuously and eventually ended up finishing as the last one.
While heroes like VishaaL can become "Mass ACtion Heroes" with just "THIMIRU and Sandaikozhi" I seriously doubt why MADDY can't pick it up!
He needs to mix it up a BIT !
Giving OFF-BEAT movies is fine unless u have established himself with neat fan base !

From: rajnifan on Tue Dec 5 0:57:47 2006. [Full View]

Just finished watching Rendu (Irandu) and bumped into this thread today. So thought of writing a short review on it.

The story wasnt that new for the film. The screenplay was the highlight and Sundar C has done a real good job. His combination with Vadivelu is electric always. Maddy has done a cool job as the blind guy who takes revenge. Reema is gud in her short role, and Anushka looks promising. The music is a bore, but the movie is enjoyable to watch!

Good to see Maddy in a box office hit after quite sometime (even though Thambi is said to have done well too). As one person, selvakumar put it here in this thread, if Maddy can mix it up well between the off beat ones and the commercial cinema, he would be much better off!

Vadivelu was hilarious in this film, even though he wasnt close to his best in this one!

I dont think Acting in offbeat movies is like spoiling themselves. Madhavan had learnt a lot from Mani and Kamal. Though those movies flopped, it does not matter. In long run the experience of working with them / such a complex roles will come handy for him. I would rather look at the positives than the temporary success

Spoiling themselves by acting in good cinema is much better than Spoiling themselves and audience by acting in bad cinema

I think Madhavan is more interested in quality of his work. Having had worked with Manirathnam, Balachander, Kamal, among others, he is very conscious of his output.

Becoming a mass hero is cool. But if you fall, you fall hard and really hurt yourself. Its a tricky proposition.

Currently - of this generation - Vijay entered the Mass heroism territory first. Ajith is there too...but his Varalaru pointed out his other side - the talent side. It would be wise for Ajith to keep alternating between mass entertainer and serious stuff.

If you want example, there can't be anyone better than Rajini and Kamal during their early days. They did offbeat, character-centric films as well as all out Masalas.

What sets Madhavan apart from the rest of the Tamil film industry heroes is that he is recognised and is in demand outside of Tamil nadu. Not confined to Tamil language. This will be similar to the scenario in the eighties when Rajini and Kamal ventured to Hindi films.

Mass hero-ism is a dangerous territory. Knowing well how a good performer Madhavan is, I would suggest that he stay away. His forte is comedy; and this is also something that sets him apart from other heroes. The others can do comedy; but they can't be comedian throughout the film like Madhavan (or Kamal and Rajini) can.

He can easily glide his way through films of many genres and languages. He is well equipped, talent-wise, and I like the career path he has chosen. He will make Tamilians proud.

That is what I meant there man. Infact, both Rajini and Kamal didn't do off-beat roles continously. IN our tamil film industry, off-beat movies doesn't become huge hits as that of commercial films. No one will say that RUN is a bad film for audience and others. Why can't he give such films in the middle. This is the point I was making there. IN our preference to make him as a great actor, we should not let producers and distributors to KILL this actor !

YOu first paragraph was

IMO, It depends on how they MIX IT UP !! Doing a movie like ETHIRI or racy action movies is better than doing off-beat movies continously

He needs to arrive at a MIMIMUM FORMULA for his movies which he can do safely by mixing up the performance

1. When did i say so

The problem is understanding the post.

First, I like Vishal. I Like Maddy(actor

) more than Vishal. For Vishal I liked his first 2 movies and half of Thimuru and i felt he is good for action movies. That is it. It does not mean i would like to see him in Masala movies continuously. I would like to see any actor trying different roles including Vishal. Of course, not always. If anyone continues to give reasonable/ interesting entertainment movie continously also that is fine with me. Example Rajini after 90's. Though there may not be big scope for showing acting skills many of his movies provide great entertainment.

In this context, the point was Maddy spoiled himself by acting in MR and Kamal movies. Just acting in Masala movies does not form fan base. Basically the actor should show certain steps.

Anbe Sivam is Madhavan's 8 movie i think.

If Vishal could form a fan base within 2 movies and Madhavan could not even after 5 movies then it is his disinterest in that/lack of attempt / any other factor. Initial days there was craze among girls like any other chocolate heroes. Still there are many. That is different. But he never had huge fan base(Hard Core fans to come and see movie in few days) i believe to lose after anbe sivam/AY, etc......

Leave about fan base. If a movie could satisfy general audience, it is going to run irrespective of off beat or masala movie. There are several offbeat movies did well in BO too !!!!!!! If u need examples i can give.

Coming to main point i still insist acting in off beat does not spoil the actor or the audience. But acting in Kuppai Masala movies spoil the actor as well as audience. The temporary results of those movies is only for the moment(though lots of Kuppai masalas failed). But the experience Maddy gained with Kamal and MR will definetly come in handy in some stage.

2. No comments on second point. It depends on whether u like a particular actor or not.

.....who told he has a fan base??? his movies get hype bcos of his dad's money which does the publcity........best ex: Dhanush who came after Maddy in TF, rose above Maddy for a brief point of time only to fall into pits.........even his brothers' attempts couldnt bring him up.....so porumai, enga Maddy eppavume strong/stable bcos of his fan base......there is a fan base for Maddy......

nobody is denying Maddy should do class roles.....but as Selva put it, he has to mix it and balance i well.....if he doesent care abt his fans/producers and keep on giving offbeat roles then its a problem.....watever it is, AS,AE,ND were poor timing to say the least......i wont blame KMuthamittal also that much bcos of its timing......

You got it wrong even he said he like maddy(actor) more than vishal still commenting on vishal "" . Where we need to check the ratio of 1:3 , if you meant the ratio among the masses then he is superstar by this time . Who said vishal doesnt have fans .. dont pounce on me saying , I am a vishal fan . If you feel his dad is spending his money just for giving for unnecessary hype he would be sitting near thousand lights

great, where did i suggest TM is a vishal fan??? i just told only 1 out of 3 is a vishal fan........also, i dint tell he doesent have fans.....he surely has fans, not big enuf to be called Fan base.......Ramarajan-ukku ellam fans irundha punya bhoomi idhu..... .....

great, i dont have much to say abt Vishal at this point of time......just see, who will stand the test of time - Madhavan.R or Vishal?? i'm sure its gonna be Maddy.....appa ungalakkum,TM-ukum reply panraen....... ......

btw, Maddy now has got the balance somewhat right....Thambi and Rendu......Arya in future and Sarvam with Vishnuvardhan....thats a big one....so, Maddy is doing what exactly this Maddy wants...

Maddy even this time you got it wrong " We(Incl TM ) like Maddy more than Vishal".

I have seen only Sandaikozhi and Chellamae . I didnt liked Sandaikozhi and Chellamae is kinda okie movie nothing rave about it

. But still you are under the conclusion we like Vishal more than Madhavan.

Except for few movies like Relax

, Ennavalae

, Priyamana thozhi

I havent seen Priyasakhi hence I am not commenting about that movie. I liked/enjoyed Madhavan`s movie

Great interview, Joe.

He is certainly a symbol of honesty, humility, modesty and great appraiser of his own talent. That he recognises his weaknesses ahead of us shows how much he is aware of the need to continuously improve himself.

I think acting with a giant like Kamal has an humbling effect on you; and it certainly did with Madhavan.

He is respectful of the audience, saying that they are as how expected them to be. Not to underestimate their intelligence.

Also, I like the fact that he pays attention to the internet, the critics, professional and amateur, and knowing well that at the end of the day, film runs in cinema matters more.

You can see that he is never going to be satisfied with what he is doing. There will always be hunger in him - the way it is till now with Kamal, and he is going to work hard.

He set his goal very high. He is talking international there. His job with Manirathnam's films and the recent Rangde Basanthi has certainly helped him with international recognition.

Behind that Colgate smile, and cheerful face, there is a serious artiste. That is how I see this man. Tamil cinema, on its own, is now hot with competition; good healthy competition. But Madhavan is not in it; he has cast his net wide, outside of Tamil nadu.

The fact that he doesn't have an immediate rival (Vishal is not. His resume does not run parallel to Madhavan's), gives him an edge.

His growth is slow and steady. Not meteoric. He started out with TV, a good fertile ground for acting training. And the fact that, despite being a Tamilian, he had learned about the state and the people only recently gives him an additional reason for wanting to explore the raw Tamilian socio-cultural emotions, as he did in Thambi and will, hopefully, in future films. Those may not be art films; but somewhere there you will see Madhavan the student of Tamil culture.

Madhavan in the Hindi film Delhii Heights
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, December 06, 2006]

Produced by Prabhu for the reputed banner Sivaji Productions, the Hindi film Delhii Heights has Jimmy Shergill, Neha Dhupia, Om Puri, Rohit Roy, Simone Singh, Vivek Shauq, Kamini Khanna and our very own Madhavan playing significant roles.

This film is directed by Anand Kumar and has music by Rabbi Shergill.

The talkie portion of the film is getting completed today. Madhavan, who is playing a guest role in the film, is only too happy to be part of this film under a renowned banner. It doesn�t matter whether it is a lead role or a guest role, he opines.

�It doesn�t matter how much I feature in a film. The significance of the role is all that matters. Hasn�t Amitabh Bachchan, the Big B done guest roles as well? When someone of his stature does, why can�t I?� he quips.

He also added, "I am happy at the good run of my Irandu and my film Guru is also getting released this month. Hopefully 2007 would take me to new heights in the industry."

Madhavan is all the more happy that his portions were shot in the lawns of the palatial house that the thespian Sivaji Ganesan lived in.

Crikey! Somehow I get the feeling that he is doing one film too many. That may dilute his talents. But then, Kamal and Rajini at their peak did more than 10 films per year.

1.TM, look at the person on ur left and the person on ur right and at urself.........only 1 out of 3 is a vishal fan..... Laughing

.....who told he has a fan base??? his movies get hype bcos of his dad's money which does the publcity........best ex: Dhanush who came after
Maddy in TF, rose above Maddy for a brief point of time only to fall into pits.........even his brothers' attempts couldnt bring him up.....

2.so porumai, enga Maddy eppavume strong/stable bcos of his fan base......there is a fan base for Maddy...... Cool

3. nobody is denying Maddy should do class roles.....but as Selva put it, he has to mix it and balance i well.....if he doesent care abt his fans/producers and keep on giving offbeat roles then its a problem.....watever it is, AS,AE,ND were poor timing to say the least......i wont blame KMuthamittal also that much bcos of its timing......

4.yaa thats right.....when so many ppl. in the hub try to snatch the credit for Varalaaru's victory from Ajith, i understood this..... Very Happy

...

1. I told u before my experience in Chandran complex regarding Rendu and SP tickets on first week end. Going by newpaper Adv, in Vellore dt SP released in around 10 theatres and Rendu in 5 theatres. In Tiruvalluvar Dt almost the same. I dont know about other districts in TN. Now Rendu may be running better than SP. That is different. When a new star's movie is releasing in many theatres i believe he should have some fan base. I may be wrong in my assumption. If u dont accept that is fine. Let us leave about vishal in this thread.

2. The fan base i meant was who has rasigar mandram and keep watching movies in first few days. I dont think Madhavan has much in that regard. If he has i am happy for that, if not also i am happy that he is not interested in entertaining these activities. I will never deny he has big fans among ex/current college girls under 30. My wife also a big fan of Madhavan

3. For you 3 movies go into off beat. By the way all these 3 movies did not come in succession. Only AS and ND came in succession. AE came after 4 movies gap. I really dont think ND can be kept in Offbeat. It did not had a great run. But it was profitable. And to my knowledge the family whoever i came across loved the movie as well as Madhavan's acting. Not sure why u kept ND over there

Is that because that was Kamal's production

Even AE i would say people would definetly liked Madhavan's role. He was very manly in that movie. I would say many Maddy fans(girls specifically) would definetly liked him The movie flopped. That is it. Even 90 % of so called masala movies fails. So where is the question of spoiling himself? The only movie i would accept for your view is AS only. Though it is the best performance of Maddy till now.

4. Why this comment? Did my posts anywhere shows I am trying to snatch the credit for Varalaaru's victory from Ajith. Dont say it is common statement. If it is common it is not at all needed here

Finally...
1. You had pointed finger on me saying i was interested in Vishal's victory by looking for him to do entertainment movies, and Maddy should disappear by doing off beat movies. Could you please help me in finding my stupid post so that i can correct

2. Are u trying to project me or whoever says they like Vishal as hardcore Vishal fans

I like Loose mohan too. So am i a hardcore Loose mohan fan or a loosu fan

This, of course, unless he is performing side by side with his peers.

Let's just talk about Madhavan; analysis of his performance, his goal, reach, aspiration and, what we, as fans and audience, want from him.

As I said earlier, he does not have a rival. His only rival is his past success, so what does he have to do to repeat and improve on his success.

Watch the Kumudham interview and you will note the way he thinks.

Saw Rendu during the weekend.

Needless to say, I got what I wanted, and I wanted more.

Here's my review:

Walking into Sundar C's movie one should not be wanting an award material or roles that are challenging enough to win two or three National Awards (its getting cheap nowadays).

Sundar C is only concerned about delivering entertainment. Sometimes he makes it; sometimes the films stink. Most of the time, you can get some good silly comedy. Put your brain outside of the theatre and have fun.

Now, how does Madhavan fits in all these. Well, he simply fits in the pair of gloves (in this film’s case, two pair) that is usually reserved for Karthik. Remember all those comedies Sundar did with Kartik and comedians as sidekicks? There were so many I can’t remember which is which.

Anyway, Madhavan fits in perfectly in this otherwise run of the mill story about guys who look alike; one out on vengeance killing and another getting blame for it. This is not until we are treated with some good and some bad comedies; courtesy of Vadivelu and Madhavan.

On top of it – a pleasant addition – we have Bagyaraj, sort of reprising his role an investigating officer in Nan Sigappu Manithan. It’s nice to see him back, bringing with him his own brand of humour.

My complain is this: there should have been more Bagyaraj. In fact, I look forward more for his scenes in Naan Sigappu Manithan than Rajini’s. A good scene stealer.

How does Madhavan do? Good. Adequate. He knows his place in Sundar’s universe, and he plays it well. But then, in the flashback sequence we see how he stands apart from other actors of his generation. That man is one charismatic dude. I bet the girls will be melting during the scene where he describes ‘first night’. Coming across charming and seductive is piece of cake for him.

He excels in comedy scene as usual and his chemistry with the heroines (Reema Sen and Anushka) does not work much; simply because they are not effective. I am not a Ms. Sen fan but I do fell prey to her habit of wearing alarmingly short skirt.

On the action side, Madhavan need to work on the fight scene a little. Just avoid being so obvious in holding the wires, Madhavan, and you should be alright. He can show his ferocious side (of which I was convinced after Thambi) and he can do better with better fight choreography.

Music these days, except ARR, hardly registers with me so I have no comment on Imman’s work. It’s there and its all over the place.

Sundar C just did another Sundar C movie. It takes Kamal to pull him out of the mass entertainer and do something meaningful. If he had learned something about Madhavan working with him and Kamal in Anbe Sivam, is that Madhavan is very versatile and have inherited both Kamal and Rajini’s talent for comic and dramatic.

Watch this film for Madhavan and if you know what to expect from Sundar C.

Careful mate. Its a good news, but I think we Madhavan fans should be examplary in staying out of making comparisons.

He does not have to worry about competition; his past success and his fan's expectation should be his motivating factor. I think we should not worry about other stars.

Let's not bring in other actors unless it is really necessary. We all have some bad experience dealing with fans of other actors. Let's keep this thread on Madhavan and Madhavan alone.

Madhavan for more offbeat themes
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, December 14, 2006]

�Very rarely do offbeat movies become box-office hits. Audience should welcome such movies for the betterment of the industry,� says Madhavan.

Speaking to press persons at a function held in Chennai on Wednesday, the actor said that it is unfortunate that action-packed movies have become big hits in the recent past. �Movies with offbeat themes have become a rarity. Audience should welcome such attempts,� he said.

Happy at the success of Irandu, Madhavan says, �When the director (Sundar C) narrated the story, I immediately decided to do it. I wanted to just go out and have a blast on the sets.�

On playing guest roles in movies including Rang De Basanti and Delhii Heights, the actor says, �I don't mind doing minuscule roles. It is my desire to be part of movies which have different story line and an honest attempt to take films to a higher level.�

The actor is awaiting the release of Guru (directed by Manirathinam) in which he plays a scribe.

Excerpts from the interview:

It�s been a long time since your last film was released. So, your film �Rendu� is crucial to you in a way. What do you say?

Every film is important to me. In fact, �Rendu� was not a planned film. Sundar C called me one day and told me that we are doing a film. He told me to just do the film without asking about the story, as doing the double would be fun. Like he said, we had great time and it was completed in short period of time. It was great working with my old friend Reema and Hyderabadi girl Anushka. Vadivelu is brilliant. Our onscreen chemistry is one of the highlights of the film.

Is it true that you have lost lots of weight?

Yes, you are right. I had to look 10 years younger than that of my look in �Alaipayuthe� for Mani Ratnam�s �Guru�. It was part of my contract with Mani. I took it as a challenge, went to England and lost a total of eight kilos.

It seems you are Mani�s favorite actor. What do you think?

This is not a new question. It would be so embarrassing if you ask this question to Mani sir. He loves his films and he is always right. I am lucky to be a part of his last five films. Of course, we are family friends and even play golf together but he will never cast me, or anybody for that matter if he is not sure of his characters.

Do you think �Thambi� is not the kind of film you should do?

My role in �Thambi� is the toughest I have played and acting schools doesn�t teach such things. The role was loud and something people would not expect of me, but you shouldn�t forget that it is one of my biggest hits. It helped me to get closer to B and C audiences.

They say that it�s difficult to survive in Kollywood without a godfather. Do you agree to it?

No. I believe only talent, good choice of roles and audience credibility that really matters and not filmy background.

What is the reason behind the delay of your film �Arya�?

It was delayed due of financial problems faced by the producer. Its shooting has resumed now that the problem has been solved. It is now expected to complete in a month�s time.

Tell us about your future plan.

I am going the right way at the moment. All my forthcoming films are with bonded companies produced by corporate. Every actor has one�s own way of surviving and this is mine. I have films with Abbas Mustan, Ramgopal Varma, Oscar films, Pratap Pothen, UTV and Oscar films to name a few. After the completion of �Arya�, I will take up �Evan Yaro�, a remake of Marathi hit film �Dombivli Fast�, which was also screened at various International film festivals. Sangeetha plays my wife in the film and Sreeman also plays a vital role. Abbas Mustan produces it and Nishikanth Kamat is the director.

Why did you cut your endorsement assignments?

Endorsement helps you have good contact with the audience. It was a deliberate move to cut down my endorsements and be choosy in the kind of products I endorse.

Talk about variety. He is really going full force. Hope he is careful with what he is doing. But sometimes you can only do so much. Directors will promise something, and what ends up on screen in something else altogether.

All the best to Madhavan and congrats to him, Sundar C and the team on Rendu's success. They all need it; especially considering that their previous collaboration Anbe Sivam did not do that well.

He has good people around him to give him career advice. People like Kamal Haasan and Manirathnam. Not bad ain't it, because both have tasted success and failures.

All these while, my theatre visit for Tamil films has been only for Kamal and Rajini. Now, I dare to go to Madhavan's flicks, because of the same reason I go for the two superstars' films: that he can bring something extra to his roles.

I am really looking forward to all those projects he is working and is going to work in.

groucho, i know i'm the only Madhavan fan who wants to see him as a star more than as a actor but do u really think ppl. like Mani,Kamal can help him becoming a star??? yes, Mani shot him to limelight with AP but brought him down to same ground level with AE.......

theres nuthing wrong in being a good actor but how many years will he survive just being a good actor??? he should do commercial films, increase his B,C centre audiences and if possible fans.......then once he is set in the industry he can do offbeat roles.....as selva rightly pointed out once, Kamal didnt do a Mahanadhi/Hey ram/Guna in his first 10 years.......he built his base and then went for it......i guess Madhavan can really follow Kamal in this case.......

What do you think? Kamal balanced himself well. He had Balachander who gave him good roles. Likewise, Madhavan has Manirathnam who gave him good roles, good supporting roles and bit roles - the same thing KB did for Kamal.

I was blown away by Madhavan's performance in AE. That was the movie that convinced me that he had what Rajini and Kamal had. I am very confident that he won't be the Mohan of this century.

I don't believe in the star system anymore. I think superstardom ended with Kamal and Rajini. From now on, it's going to be a cycle. Everyone will get their shot in being number one for a couple of years. It's good.

Madhavan does not have to be a star. He can be an actor, a good actor who gives variety of films, many brilliant performances and both satisfy his artistic hunger and us, his fans.

But still if we plan it could be balanced properly
From: selvakumar on Fri Dec 15 1:42:30 2006. [Full View]

groucho,
well. I think the fact here not just lies in just roles. It just depends on the taste as well of the generation. IN those days, most of the movies were off-beat ones too since that embarked a shift from MGR-Shivaji generation to another generation where everyone were shooting with their own movies. For ayoung actor like Kamal, he got chances like that. That is why he has high esteem for Malayalam industry which introduced him as a HERO there for the first time. Kamal after doing all those roles did acted in masala movies too like Sakalakala vallavan and action movies like Soorasamhaaram when the shift was happening and audience were getting deviated to ACtion roles. !

Do we have similar generation now?

Does our current generation of people make such movies, if not GREAT HITS but HITS in the Box office? For e.g., RENDU is now a bigger hit than Nala Thamayndhi or Anbe Sivam ! It may sound odd but that is the truth.

Balancing in the sense ? Kamal used to balance serious movies with comedy, commercial entertainers and sometimes with action flicks too when he felt the essense of BO HITS ! IN that way, he balanced his stand FIRMLY IN BOTH THE BOX OFFICE (through masala movies) and OFF - BEAT MOVIES (A Centre)

I agree. But nowadays you can't keep on acting in such small supporting roles all the time. Instead we need a "Mixture" of all these things. especially when tamil industry is bringing up more talents who give vareity of films. IN the case of Maddy, he sticks to Mani and others for supporting roles and acts in Rendu if he feels the necessity of BO HIT ! IMO

I agree. Sorry if Maddy had brought MOhan here. He won't become a MOhan for sure coz Mohan came in as a wave for a short duration with help from Surrendar and IR etc ! I leave it here.

Glad to hear that you don't believe in star system anymore. But the current generation which has illiterates like me who believe in that. One main thing that rules B and C centre audience ! They like RENDU type of masala too and movies like RUN !

It is like SATISFYING ALL TYPE OF FANS ! For that, Maddy should not satisfy "groucho" alone but illiterates like MADDY (HUbber) and Selvakumar and enormous C centre guys who interfere their heads in BO SUCCESS . This gives confidence to producers and distributors
Since after all, as far as "Cinema Vyabaarigal" is concerned, BO HITS MATTER really when you have competition from so many youngsters !
That is the truth !

Very cute. I always thought of myself as semi-literate. Now that you labelled yourself as illiterate, then I must be un-literate. That bad English should convince you.

I am too far away literally to be thinking and analysing the audience in India alone. I am to be blamed for that.

What I did was to make a direct comparison to Hollywood. There is no such thing as a single superstar over there. If there was, it would not last. The last 'superstar' was Arnold. His pay for T3 was US$35 mill, I think. Then, he quickly, cunningly, moved heavy into politics and look at him now.

Before him, the one true superstar was my guru, the great Clint Eastwood (got two nominations for director in Golden Globe, yipppeee). He is still there, a living legend and making good movies. A happy old man. My role model.

70s was the year of artists. De Niro, Pacino, Hoffman were superstars and prima donas (Pacino was a real pain at that time). There was Nicholson, Beatty, Dreyfuss, and not to mention Woody Allen. Serious artiste types. They ruled the 70s.

Then 80s was action hero year, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and later Willis, Gibson, Seagal. Bang, bang boom decade.

Nineties changed all that. The artistes themselves became action stars. Cage, Washington, Crowe, Spacey, Jackson are all Oscar-worthy actors who also dabbled in mass entertainers. They also do small roles here and there, help indie production and go back to big bucks, big bang movies.

This is what I see, and hope to see in Tamil film. That is precisely the route Madhavan is taking. If you had seen the interview in Kumudham, you will notice that his ambition goes beyond Tamil films, but at the same time he loves and respects Tamil film audience (never underestimate their intelligence, he says). And he is right. I can enjoy watching Anbe Sivam today and laugh my a** off watching Rajini and the snake in Annamalai tomorrow. We can switch channels of taste within us.

Madhavan knows that and that is why he is alternating. The Rendu type of movies he is doing for the audience (the B & C he was introduced to through Thambi). And the supporting roles were for his satisfaction. To be part of something. Maybe a history in the making.

Like Aravindswamy, he was brought to Tamil audience by Manirathnam. But I think he is charting his career better than Aravindswamy.

But good argument. You do make sense, except for the illiterate part

First of all, maddy is way off the mark when he says that tamil film audiences are to be respected. Can he try doing something off-beat say, in hindi & make it a hit?

He as no choice but to stick to tami. He has got that typical tamil "thayirsadham" look.

His hindi ventures have been flops (RHTDM & ramji londonwale). U can't count range de basanathi as maddy's hit.

As kamal remarked some years back about maddy - Dhobhi ka kuttha na ghar ka na ghat ka".

Kutta literally means dog in hindi. But no offense meant. What kamal meant was maddy was neither here nor there.

Not really. There was all kind of movies in 70s/80s. Even Sivaji was descending (right choice of word) into action films in early 70s, many of which was a big success. For every Raja, Tannga Churanggam, Sivantha Man (all categorised as actioners), there was Gouvaram and Deiva Magan as well as guest appearances in films like Manitharul Manikkam or Kaval Deivam.

The list I gave above I left out Kamal's actioners. Remember Guru, Thai Mel Anai, Sankarlal. These were standard actioners made in between his more character-centric movies and guest-starring ones.

MADDY wrote:

I disagree. You see it that way. He was a co-star in AS, not supporting role. As for AE, he was one of the three youth in focus. Three different guys clashing at one point. Three different guys who may or not matter to the society. I am sad to note that you saw him only as a third fiddle/second fiddle. He was the backbone of that movie. Most reckless character that I have come across in recent times in Tamil film. Reminded me of Rajini in Tappu Thalanggal.

His image was not affected. I for one, who dismissed him as another romantic hero, stood up and took notice. No, I was taken aback. I thought, finally. A guy who can completely remove that leading man makeup and make this ugly, unpredictable ruffian. I watch this movie again only for him.

MADDY wrote:

Yeah. That was my point. Vikram, Surya, Ajith can switch between actioners and serious stuff. How good they are is a subjective matter and is up to individual to judge. Its a good direction and Madhavan is on the same albeit bigger route (considering his international ambition).

As for Varalaaru, if there was the dancer alone, the movie may have struggle a bit. There was the normal Ajith, and the bad Ajith. I liked the latter, pretty convincing. So, you have three Ajith to cater all Ajith fans and non-fans. That I attribute to the films success (plus ARR, of course).

Oh no, I have just made suicidal remark. Ajith fans may want to cut me up and feed me to the crocodile.

groucho,
Coming back to Maddy !
I think we ALL Agree on the same point. what You need is what Maddy too needs but in a different way, I think.

Kamal's early days = More off-beat movies + best supporting characters + guest performances + action and masala entertainers

Maddy's early days must be = Off-beat movies + very less supporting characters + A strict no to guest performances + some action and masala entertainers which are pretty different and speaks performance as well !

It need not be same of Kamal and this will surely reduce the GAP between his projects and can firmly give him a Grip on the Box office and all class of audience as well

Even Maddy and myself are not against him in doing AE, AS etc But we need a mixture and movies that reveal or give more space for Maddy to give knockout performance

I like that word - Ajithians. What do you call Vijay fans, Vijayans? Haha. I'm kidding. I can see a Vijay fan coming towards me with something suspiciously looking like Arua at the back of his neck.

Anyway, I think we are all basically talking about the same thing. Our arguement seems to be centered on the fact that Madhavan can do offbeat movies, mass movies, or those in the middle. That is important.

Aye, aye mate. I agree of course. I like this route. Alternating between all kinds of films. He must also venture into new genre - a good thriller, horror perhaps, or biographical. Offbeat some of them may be, but considering that Tamil film audience (A, B or C) are getting more intelligent and careful about their choice of movies, they may be a big hit.

(Case in point, being a hardcore Bond fan, Fleming-Bond fan, I thought and feared that Casino Royale may not do well, because of its strong storyline. Turned out it is destined to be a bigger hit than Die Another Day).

yes, alternating between class/off beat/good masala/mass movies is the mantra that we all seem to suggest for Madhavan.....

other areas of concern for me regds Madhavan:

1. he should do a bit of masala movies to start with and then do offbeat movies.......he is already overdue for mass side.....

2. he should avoid second fiddles, though its an amazing character.......after all he is also a hero and not a side artiste...... .....if director/producer is so interested to have him in class movies then let them put him as hero, y as a loosu kirukkan or a mottai boss?? ..........

Vishal is an interesting case, because Yedutta Yeduppileye he did masala movie and suddenly he got this big chunk of fans.

This territory - Angry young man against establishment/big dada/government/corporate is a favourie among any audience and you can quickly get a big following. Vishal is an average actor. Now, he has accidentally (or knowingly) found himself in Vijay's territory. That's a tough market. I am glad Madhavan is not in that market. Audience of that market is not easy to please.

..........

I wonder which film you are referring to here.

Well, he should avoid second fiddles if the roles are not important to the movie. Also, he is doing for his own satisfaction. His small role in Delhi Heights was for Sivaji Films. Its his respect for Sivaji and the film company. I think that's okay.

Yup !! I agree. How it would have been if he acts in thrillers like VV or KK etc There are plenty of talents entering the cine industry nowadays giving different movies. He can try them out. A movie like KK or VV or Thambi etc will also prove their worth at the BO and in the performance and quality level as well.

Beg to differ on taste of TN audience ! They are always a mystery for producers and directors. When will they make a movie a HIT is pretty uncertain and unknown

They enjoy soft movies, action thrillers, love stories, run of the mill family sentiment movies, etc.

For e.g., Taking the Bond movie - Don't kill me if I say I didn't like CR. I am a guy whose space is pretty limited. For me, Pierce Brashnan is a bond whom I got introduced. So, that was pretty new and people like me who saw that first got used to that type ofBond. Prob.. a Masala Bond you can say !

After seeing CAsino Royale, I was a bit disappointed coz "Hey ! Thisis something which I don't know" and like how I expected it bombed in TN - But happy to hear that it rocked big time in collections

Atleast the upcoming generation will get a new BOND retaining the classy spy Ian created !

I still have no belief in TN Audience - What they like and will like still remains a mystery to be found out !

Hope Any Pierce Brashnan lovers doesn't get carried away by that term

Audience' expectations are constantly changing nowadays with housewives getting restricted to Mega Serials (which are taking a piece out of old Visu movies and churn out some crap for days)

Agree. Madhavan is a talent. He is now reaching towards the other side too. Any producer here will be happy to see a HERO demanding less money. Maddy offers that slightly dangerous offer. Like "I can make an offer which you can't refuse"
Maddy can utilise that and can give different yet powerful movies that carry his name in the box office as well in the critics list. With this salary advantage, he can rule distributors and theatre owners too !

He need to go with a plan in mind taking into consideration of ALL !

Guess that is what you and I was trying to tell folks here. My impression was that of Rajini in Tappu Talanggal. Reckless, ruthless, completely naive of moral values (subjective, but there are some clear moral values everyone adheres to) and violently in love with his wife. In AE, his and his wife's story is one of the best I had ever seen in Tamil films. It could stand on its own.

I wanted to say that exactly. After the classic bad guys...we have very few villains. Rajini pulled it off well in 70s and early 80s (if you include Netrikann) and quickly picked up by Sathyaraj who can pull it off any time he wants. And it was Madhavan in AE who blew me away. Very original.

I'd certainly want to know exactly why some fans, including Madhavan fans, dislike AE. I know that the idea was not new; but there was something wonderful in it, and mostly it is Madhavan's performance.

I guess that is more opinion based for their fans....as they have a preference for madhavan in soft romantic heroes which they feel he does best...but the fact remains that he is a very versatile actor...and soft romantic roles isnt exactly his forte..just like kamal is not a romantic actor as originally seen..he just fits into any role..same goes for rajini in the earlier days

Conventional ending will be this:

Good - He repents. Gets back to his wife, cue the love song and everything ends well.

Bad - Surya kills him in the fight.

But what we got was an ugly ending. Madhavan's character is completely lost. Lost his wife. Lost the mean to live. Lost his brother. Lost the trust of his 'leader' (having not finished the job properly). All because of his reckless attitude. He is the biggest loser in this movie, as you notice that Barathiraja's character just bounces back and is head on with Surya in a more civil fashion in political stage.

So, I see it Madhavan as a blunt instrument used by people, his brother, politicians, giving him blind hope and he ends up getting nothing and losing everything. I loved the ending. For someone who was acting macho, tough, he was humbled by this educated kid, right on the street where he was supposed to be the king.

Its a humbling moment. And no other actor would want to hurt their ego by doing that role, beaten up by the road side. I applaud Madhavan's guts to be able to pull it off well.

Seems Maddy rejected "Kaakha Kaakha" since he didn't think he can do an encounter specialist !

says Goutham !
I am literally shocked to hear this. On the other day, I was talking about this only to HUBBER MADDY : Why Maddy didn't do KK when Gautham's first film hero itself was MADDY?

Seems Maddy asked Gautham to go for RHYTDM (Minnalae Hindi Version) which Gautham wasn't interested in !

Quote:

This way, he hopes he won�t have the heartaches he did with Minnale. �It was a very juvenile and clich�d film. My original script was different. It was actually the story of two friends who fall in love with one girl.

Then Madhavan got in. Vipul Shah - he�s from Bombay; he does stuff for television, and he�s a good friend of Maddy�s and mine - got in. And we changed it around to two guys who hate each other, falling for the same girl.� The script didn�t change entirely, for the vignettes that Gautham had incorporated from his own life were still there.

�Like the Madhavan character, I liked to be with my own set of friends. We never interacted with the girls, and I used to hate those girls in college. Then the whole church wedding concept was mine; I�m married to a Christian.�

But otherwise, the smash hit Vaseegara, for instance, didn�t come out the way he wanted it to. �I had Madhavan and Reema together for just half-a-day. That was the last song to be shot, and the film was ready for release. I�m not blaming anybody for the way it turned out, but... I wasn�t sure of myself. In your first film, you get carried away.�

Even with the Hindi remake, Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM), �Maddy carried me to Bombay, literally. They made me shoot Bombay in Durban. I told Maddy it�s not going to work at all for me, but he said, �It�s a good ride, boss. Have fun.� I wouldn�t have done it if I had known the world a bit better.� Shocked

Madhavan for the sake of offbeat films

Actor Madhavan while addressing the press at a function held in Chennai on Wednesday was speaking for the sake of art house and offbeat films. He also said that it is an unfortunate state in the film industry that meaningful films have taken a back stage and action-packed movies are more sought after by the filmmakers and the audiences. Supporting offbeat movies he said, �Very rarely do offbeat movies become box-office hits. Audience should welcome such movies for the betterment of the industry. Movies with offbeat themes have become a rarity. Audience should welcome such attempts.�

Madhavan also said that he was happy wit the success of �Irandu�. �When director Sundar C narrated the story, I immediately decided to do it. I wanted to just go out and have a blast on the sets.� When the press quizzed him about doing guest roles in films like �Rang De Basanti� and �Delhii Heights�, Madhavan said, �I don't mind doing minuscule roles. It is my desire to be part of movies which have different story line and an honest attempt to take films to a higher level.� His forthcoming arrival is Mani Ratnam�s �Guru�.

'Guru' world premiere to be held in Toronto
By Indo Asian News Service

Mumbai, Dec 21 (IANS) Writer-director Mani Ratnam's much-anticipated 'Guru', starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, will have its world premiere in Toronto on Jan 11.

The film will be screened at the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre, where most Hollywood films are premiered, with the cast and crew in attendance.

Roger Nair Productions has acquired the Canadian rights of 'Guru' from Bobby Bedi's Kaleidoscope Entertainment. It is touted as a path breaking deal between Canada and India, in the process making Canada an official territory for Bollywood films.

The company has entered the distribution market in a big way for Canada territory and will be buying Bollywood films for North America and Europe as well.

It is also in negotiations with some other top Indian filmmakers for acquiring the rights of their films. The company, which is acquiring absolute theatrical, video and TV rights, will also ensure legal right to curb piracy with the help of local police and the justice system.

It's a win-win situation for everyone involved taking Bollywood to global arena.

Yup !! But again I loved his looks in the initial scenes. He almost looked like how he was in Minnalae and RUN in the Green shirt.
But I have to say Reema was terrible in the movie

The Minnalae pair looked like AS IF they don't have any relation b/w the two.
But Anoushkha - Maddy pair looked cool !

Not sure about that. Here Rendu was replaced shortly with Sivapathigaaram. Couldn't watch it

The starting part sounded like "Mobile ah Mobile ah" Guess this has become very popular in SUN MUSIC and other TV channels

Friday, November 24, sees the release of his Rendu, and Madhavan had a blast making the film.

In the conclusion to his conversation with Shobha Warrier, the actor talks about working with Mani Ratnam, and his Rang De Basanti experience.

You are acting in different language films. Do you enjoy this?

I am not doing films in different languages, just Hindi and Tamil.

What about the Malayalam-English film you did for Rajiv Anchal?

That didn't come out the way it was planned. I am not happy with the product at all.

Is this the most exciting period of your career? You are working with Mani Ratnam, and Rituparno Ghosh. And, Rang De Basanti is a huge hit.

Yes. Any other person would have looked at Rang De Basanti as a miniscule role but from the day I read the script, I knew it would be a rocking film. I wanted to be a part of it. I remember meeting the media before the release and the entire media was sceptical about the film. Many asked me, 'You are a star in Tamil cinema so why are you doing a small role in an Aamir Khan film?' And the whole thing changed once the film released. It's nice to know your convictions are right.

What is it that excited you about the film?

There was a wild individuality about the film. It was not adhering to any commercial norms of Hindi cinema as of that day -- It was a Rs 25 crore film where Aamir Khan was not playing the main lead; it had a flop director; and it had two south Indian guys. For me, the whole set-up was exciting. With Aamir and UTV endorsing it, I knew there was something about the film.

Then, there was this rebellious attitude and a latent patriotism, which everybody has in real life.

While Rang De Basanti showed a violent side of youth, Lage Raho Munnabhai made people realise the value of non-violence. As a person, which would you follow, the violence of Rang De Basanti or the gandhigiri of Munnabhai?

I completely endorse the gandhigiri of Munnabhai. I believe there is nothing in the world that cannot be achieved by dialogue. Unfortunately, the easier route is violence.

But if you ask me which film I would like to be sent to the Oscars, I would say most certainly Rang De Basanti. It has violence in it, but doesn't advocate violence.

Hindi filmmakers have now understood the importance of marketing, unlike the Tamil film industry. Do you feel films need to be marketed like a product?

You are absolutely correct. Almost 40% of the budget of a Hindi film is meant for publicity, but we still haven't reached that in Tamil. I cannot understand the reason. Only (leading Tamil producer) Oscar Ravichandran does huge amount of publicity. But in Hindi, even a Shah Rukh Khan goes everywhere to talk to the media about Don to make it happen.

I can only speak for myself. I don't know why it is not happening here. When I make a film, I will make sure it happens.

Will you be making films?

No. I am not in a position to be a director or producer. If I have my way, I will see to it that the science of public relations, which has not yet trickled down to the south, reaches here.

Rendu isn't exactly your type of film...

It is a comedy, a fun film. I was quite bored after doing all this research on corporatisation of films. It was then that Sundar C told me, 'Come and do a fun film with me. Don't ask me the script or anything. Just trust me and do the film.' He said, 'give me 50 days'. And I had a ball in those 50 days.

Actually it was Abhishek Bachchan who told me to go and enjoy all films. He had learnt it from his father. I took his advice to heart and enjoyed Rendu. You can't be doing Kannathil Muthamittal or Anbe Sivam everyday.

You were working on Guru while you were doing Rendu, right?

For Guru, I had to lose a lot of weight, and I had lost 8 kilos. But in Rendu, I was playing two characters. One had light eyes and was visually far heavier than the other guy. I used to work out in the morning and look bulky to do the scenes of the plump guy first. After a light lunch, I used to go for a 2km jog, come back and do the thin guy's scenes. I was doing this everyday when we were doing the special effects. It was fun.

Of course, Guru had a different sensibility. Sitting there and looking at Mani and working in his film gave me the high I needed. Rendu gave me the fun I needed. Those were quite happy times.

Is working with Mani Ratnam always special for you?

It is very, very frightening.

I thought it would change after the first film. Because we are golf course buddies and on back-slapping terms. But when we are on the sets, I can't bring myself to call him Mani: it is always Mani sir, said with reverence. And it is frightening.

During every film, I thought I would get over the fear after the next one, but it's getting even tougher. Because we know each other so well, he doesn't want what he sees in real life. He pushes me to give something different. He knows the kind of environment that I perform best in. Without me knowing, he makes sure that he creates that atmosphere for me.

How different was working with him in Alai Paayuthe and now in Guru?

I was trying to deliver exactly what Mani sir wanted in Alai Paayuthe. There was no input from me. I was trying to be real, what he wanted me to be. In Kannathil Muthamittal I had to act like a Tamil writer, which I am not in real life. I had to play a father to three kids. I took Mani sir as the role model; I observed how he behaved with his son. But in Aayutha Ezhuthu, I could not get the Tamil cheri dialect to perfection; I screwed that up. But the look worked, so it was accepted.

In Guru he wanted me to lose weight and look 22 years old. He told me, 'If anybody can do it, you can because you have a face for it.' So, I took one moth off and lost a huge amount of weight and put on some colour. I lost weight without starving. In fact, I was lighter than the Alai Paayuthe days.

In Guru I play a reporter who believes good should be done to people. He likes it when somebody does something good for the people and society. But he believes it should be done within the realms of law. He opposes anyone who breaks the law. So, he stands to oppose Gurukant Desai when he breaks laws. This reporter knows the power of words and the media.

Is the film based on Dhirubhai Ambani's life?

I don't think so. But yes, Gurukant Desai is an industrialist who wants to change the nation.

So what's the equation? Are Tamil films your bread and Hindi films your butter?

No, Tamil films are my bread and butter, and Hindi films are the cream!

Go vegetarian, says Madhavan
IndiaGlitz [Friday, December 29, 2006]

Madhavan has urged the people to go the veggie way.

Announcing the 'Mega Vegetarian Food Expo 2007' to be held at Rajah Muthiah Hall, Chennai on 12 and 13 January by the Indian Vegetarian Congress (IVC) as part of its golden jubilee year, the actor said on Thursday, "Vegetarians are least exposed to health problems that include coronary diseases and life- consuming diseases like cancer."

"The eating habits especially among the youngsters have changed, as many opt for fast and packaged food, in today's long, hectic work schedule and lifestyle. Educating people on the benefits of vegetarian food is necessary and initiatives of IVC is appreciable," he said.

...I'm pro-vegetarian too! ...but not a vegetarian my self... ...one day....

Maddy plays Gurumurthy?
By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 04 January , 2007, 16:41
Is Maddy playing the role of the controversial investigative journalist S.Gurumurthy in Mani Ratnam�s Guru? Everybody knows that Mani is making a movie on the life and times of Dhirubhai Ambani the legendary business tycoon who made Reliance Industry, a household name.

The media baron, late Ramnath Goenka and his �Indian Express� had done a series of exposes on Ambani and the growth of Reliance through political patronage. At that time, S.Gurumurthy had done most of the writing, exposing the Ambanis.

In Mani�s Guru, Abhishek Bachchan plays Gurukanth Desai (Dhirubhai Ambani), Mithun Chakravarthy plays Manikdas Gupta (Ramnath Goenka) and Madhavan plays Shyam Saxena (S.Gurumurthy) the crusader who works for �The Independent�!

In fact, Mani Ratnam had shot Mithun and Maddy�s scenes at the `Indian Express` office in Chennai to give it an authentic look.

Wow, i love gurumurthy's articles......he is out and out rightist and a great social thinker........can u imagine - he had predicted outbreak of religion based terrorism as early as 1990

.......

i'm really happy that Mani atlast has given a good role to Madhavan........but he should not try to reduce the impact of Maddy's role.....it should be as powerful as Gurumurhty's words......

........its a privilige for Maddy to act as Gurumurthy......

(if u guys are wondering who is Gurumurthy - then read his hard hitting articles in Indian Express and also he is a guest columnist in cho's Tughlaq and writes in tamil as well

Rende "Rendu" punch KO

Punch 1 : Aimless, illogical sequence (not story) narrator Sundar C pairs with Madhavan (another Karthik) a clear insecured, disorganized,loverboyimage-retainer for an alternative CRAP.

Punch 2 : The contrast between Vadivelu & Sandhanam performance on the same, yet boring & dreadful double-meaning comedy dialogues.

Madhavan happy with Guru role
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, January 17, 2007]

�I have no qualms playing a cameo in Guru. I am happy that I was part of a Manirathnam film,� says Madhavan.

The charming actor, who played a scribe in Guru, says, �Though it was a brief role, people appreciate my performance and all credits should go to Mani sir for it.�

The actor says, �I relish the company of Manirathnam and Kamal Hassan. Both have taught me the nuances of acting.�

�If Mani sir helped me get my basics right, Kamal Hassan polished my acting skills in doing comical roles. People around me said that my role would be subdued when acting alongside Kamal. But he encouraged me and gave me enough screen space in Anbae Sivam,� he adds.

With several movies lined up, Madhavan is optimistic of leaving an impression in Kollywood this 2007.

Maddy grasps Deepa Mehta and Ramgopal Varma�s attention By Behindwoods News Bureau. February 02, 2007 This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes. com Maddy�s Arya is all set to release after a long wait as reported by us earlier. Meanwhile, the actor seems to be on the verge of finalizing his future projects. We got wind of the fact that the internationally acclaimed director Deepa Mehta and noted Bollywood director Ramgopal Varma have set eyes on Maddy.

Though Mehta�s English movie � which will have an international audience � is still under conceptualization stage, RGV has concrete plans for his next movie in Tamil with Maddy. Reportedly titled Leelai, the movie will star Madhavan and Shamita Shetty � Shilpa�s sibling who had already graced the Tamil screens � in the lead.

Rest of the cast and crew are being finalized.

After a long gap, Prathap Pothan dons the robe of a director in "Nee
Inri". This film was said to feature Maddy and Trisha in the lead
role. But for reasons unknown a Mumbai import in the name of Rukmini
will be featuring as heroine in Nee Inri. For people who enjoyed the
pair of Trisha and Madhavan in Lesa Lesa,

were looking for the same combination to ignite the screen after a
long gap.

But according to Kollywood circle, as Trisha is currently committed
to three mega projects with three popular stars of the industry, she
is not able to associate herself in this film. Bheemaa with Cheeyan
Vikram is nearing completion. Shooting for Kreedom with Ajith has
already begun in Vizag. She has also been roped in to feature with
Vishal in Sathyam. Hence industry pundits feel that unavailability
of the dates could be the main reason for Trisha to drop out of this
film.

Maddy going beyond Indian cinema
By MIO Team
Feb 05, 2007, 07:02

Yes, actor Madhavan is insatiable when it comes to acting. Driven by his thirst for success, he is all set to go beyond Indian cinema. He has signed a Hollywood film titled �Stella� to be directed by none other than renowned director Deepa Mehta, whose film �Water� has been nominated in the Best Foreign Film category for this year�s Oscars. Interesting, his �Guru� co-star Vidya Balan will play his heroine and Hollywood actor Brendan Fraser of �The Mummy� fame is also in the cast.

Maddy�s acting in �Guru� impressed Deepa Mehta so much so that she decided to cast him in her ambitious comic flick. �I met Maddy and simply adored him. He�s a wonderful human being and a terrific actor. The fact that he and Vidya looked so compatible in �Guru� is one good reason why I decided to cast them together,� said the director.

Meanwhile, Maddy is on cloud nine for being a part of the film. He said that working with such a big personality like Deepa Mehta is in itself an honor. The film is expected to go to the floors by September this year.

...so happy for Madhavan! ...working with Deepa Mehta will be an awesome experience....

this is review of maddy next movie"evano oruvan" movie
it is marathi movie remake.

I caught this movie, at the Pune International Film Festival (which was my second good movie of the day) - and very worth the effort of waiting an hour and a half in front of the doors for the movie to start.
In five minutes, the hall was jam packed - with no one being able to get in because of thenumber of people sitting on the floors and standing by the doors to catch the movie.

Dombivli Fast is a marathi movie which revolves around the life of a middle class man - Madhav Apte (played by Sandeep Kulkarni) who is a pretty stubborn man and has a very ��No compromising on my principles�� attitude.

The starting of the movie depicts the redundancy of his everyday life with him doing the same things day after day after day ...

Madhav Apte has never bribed anyone in his life and has never accepted any bribes himself. He is a very straight forward guy who has lived his life so far on his principles and is hell bent on continuing to do the same.

He sees the rampant corruption around him, the apathy of people and how everyone has the ��chalta hai�� attitude.
Everytime he tries to intervene or do something, he is stopped by one of his friends or colleagues who tell him to ��forget it and move on��.

Throughout his life, he is taunted by his wife, friends and neighbours on his uncompromising attitude, and how the ��real�� world does not work that way.

Finally, one day, he flips - the constant taunts and the drudgery of his everyday routine playing a major part in it.
What happens next when he flips, is what the movie is all about.

The supporting cast did a pretty awesome job and their acting was pretty much flawless. Kudos to Sandesh Jadhav who plays the cop and Shilpa Tulaskar who plays his wife.

The director of the movie is Nishikant Kamat and he�s also done a fabulous job of shaping the movie in the way it was done.
For a Indian movie, this one had some surprisingly, good production which put it on par with the other movies being shown at the film festival.

I personally felt, that a little bit more time should have been spent in character building - due to which it takes sometime to empathize with the main protagonist.
Due to this, the movie seems to drag a bit towards the middle, but the ending of the film is awesome and justifies for any other little flaw that the movie might have had.

Once the movie got over in the over crowded hall, the exit doors were empty.
Everyone, including the people who were sitting on the walk-ways were just .. sitting.
No one spoke for quite sometime.

The movie depicts how every person should think, but also at the same time, sticks to the sad reality of how the outcome might turn up.

Madhav Apte has never bribed anyone in his life and has never accepted any bribes himself. He is a very straight forward guy who has lived his life so far on his principles and is hell bent on continuing to do the same.

He sees the rampant corruption around him, the apathy of people and how everyone has the ��chalta hai�� attitude.
Everytime he tries to intervene or do something, he is stopped by one of his friends or colleagues who tell him to ��forget it and move on��.

Throughout his life, he is taunted by his wife, friends and neighbours on his uncompromising attitude, and how the ��real�� world does not work that way.

Finally, one day, he flips - the constant taunts and the drudgery of his everyday routine playing a major part in it.
What happens next when he flips, is what the movie is all about.

The supporting cast did a pretty awesome job and their acting was pretty much flawless. Kudos to Sandesh Jadhav who plays the cop and Shilpa Tulaskar who plays his wife.

The director of the movie is Nishikant Kamat and he�s also done a fabulous job of shaping the movie in the way it was done.
For a Indian movie, this one had some surprisingly, good production which put it on par with the other movies being shown at the film festival.

I personally felt, that a little bit more time should have been spent in character building - due to which it takes sometime to empathize with the main protagonist.
Due to this, the movie seems to drag a bit towards the middle, but the ending of the film is awesome and justifies for any other little flaw that the movie might have had.

The movie depicts how every person should think, but also at the same time, sticks to the sad reality of how the outcome might turn up.

Once the movie got over in the over crowded hall, the exit doors were empty.
Everyone, including the people who were sitting on the walk-ways were just .. sitting.
No one spoke for quite sometime.

there is no song sequences in this film.

wow .....maddy is doing a offbeat film.

I met Maddy and simply adored him. He�s a wonderful human being and a terrific actor. The fact that he and Vidya looked so compatible in �Guru� is one good reason why I decided to cast them together,

The famous director Ram Gopal Varma who has given hit movies like
Road, Abthak Chappan and James has decided to direct Tamil and Telugu
movies. He is going to direct the movie titled Leelai.

It seems that the leading actor Madhavan will be playing the lead role
in this movie. It is also said that Shamita Shetty , the sister of
actress Shilpa Shetty will be playing the female lead role.

It is reported that Madhavan, after the completion of the movie's
Marathi remake in Tamil and Prathap Pothan' s Nee Indri, will start
working on this project.

Movie: Aarya (2007)
Cast: Madhavan, Bhavana, Prakash Raj, Devan, Tejashree, Vadivelu
Direction: Balasekaran
Production: Manoj Kumar (Guru Films & V.J. Movies)
Music: Mani Sharma

Movie Info

Quote:

Madhavan is one of the big names in the industry now. He is certainly among the most popular teenybopper heroes.Madhavan stocks are high after the recent run of his last Thambi. Now he is gearing up to complete Aarya, a bilingual being made in Tamil and Telugu.

Balasekharan, who has a good track record with youthful and responsible themes in the past, directs this.

Bhavana, the pretty young thing from Malayalam, is the heroine. After Chithiram Pesuthadi, she is a hot ticket in the circuit.

Manoj Kumar, producer of Aarya acknowledges the efforts of Madhavan and director Balasekaran.

He says the movie is a romantic one with a stress on action and sentiments.

'The movie's shooting has been completed and wrapped up. It is waiting for its release soon.'

Dwelling on the movie, Balasekaran, says, 'It is the story of a medical student who takes his knife for a different purpose and is ready to face the repercussions' .

Prakash Raj's cameo is a highlight. Some minor changes were inevitable in Telugu with Sunil in for Vadivelu to handle the comedy segment.

�It will be action-oriented film blending well with the music of Mani Sharma. It's a great feeling to direct an artiste of Madhavan's stature. I will do my best to give his character a rich look and keep his image intact.'

Manoj Kumar, with the experience as a director in films like Guru Parvai and Vanavil, felt confident to pass on the baton to a younger director. 'With his experience of direction in two languages, he has a fair idea of the audience pulse. It boils down to a question of adjustment catering to the taste.'

Bhavana plays Maddy's ladylove while the supporting cast also includes Devan and Tejashree.

Madhavan is now reinventing himself in action roles.

Aarya in a sense mixes his lover boy image and the new found status as an action hero. A nice combination, it seems.

Actor Madhavan and director Seeman who had created box office magic
with Thambi went on to become the thickest of pals. Buzz is that this
great friendship has been blown to smithereens on the sets of
Madhavan's latest film Ivan Yaro.

The hero and the director are said to have come to arguements over the
dialogues of the film, which is the remake of a Marathi film. Madhavan
with his exposure to Marathi and Hindi films and serials took offence
when the flavour of the film was changed by Seeman's very imaginative
penmanship. However, when quizzed they said they were still good
friends in a typical filmy style.

Evano Oruvan, fast in the making
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, February 24, 2007]

Dombivili Fast, the Marathi film, was not just critically acclaimed but it was also a huge commercial success. The film, directed by Nishikanth won as many as 24 State awards and it was also screened at many international film festivals, and received awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and the like. What�s more, the film has crossed 200 days and it is still running successfully in Mumbai.

Now, this film is being remade in Tamil by the same director. Titled Evano Oruvan, this film stars Madhavan and Sangeetha in the lead roles. The script has been given prominence and no effort has been spared to make this film suit the Tamil nativity and milieu.

Madhavan plays the role of Sridhar Vasudevan, an ordinary person from a middle class background. The shooting of the final schedule of this film is currently on, and plans are on to release the film this April.

Cinematography for this film is by Sanjay Jadhav, art by Nagu RK and The dialogues are by Madhavan himself, while director Seeman supervises them. Abbas Mastan and K Chera Chera are the producers of this film.

First look � Evano Oruvan

February 23, 2007

Shoots of Madhavan's next movie "Evano Oruvan" is nearing its completion. Meanwhile the AD of the movie that was released today in media has caught the attention of the public. The otherwise black and white still shows Madhavan alone in color deeply engrossed in a newspaper in the midst of the suffocating multitude of people in a Chennai suburban train. The AD has kindled the interest on the movie which has G.V.Prakash as the music director.

"Evano Oruvan" is the adaptation of the Marathi psycho-thriller "Dombivali Fast", directed by Nishikant Kamat who is wielding the megaphone for the Tamil version too. The director is new to Tamil and takes the help of Madhavan when it comes to language.

Produced by Abbas - Mustan the movie has won critical accolades from film festivals around the globe for the Marathi version. There are plans to remake this movie in Hindi. Madhavan after his success in humorous "Rendu" has taken up a serious character (it seems) in "Evano Oruvan". "Uyir" fame Sangeetha is playing the lead lady in the movie.

TV was playing Jay Jay. It was last half an hour of the movie when I was having coffee, reading newspaper and trying to ignore the throbbing hangover.

And suddenly this scene where Madhavan, who all the while looked dull and uninterested, suddenly beat up this politicians thugs and the politicians himself. All fiery, ferocious, and whne he suddenly removed his shoe and threatened the politician, I laughed out aloud. Great, brilliant performance. Honestly, it reminded me of Rajini at the peak of his unpredictability.

I don't think much of the movie (inspired by a Hollywood flick, I think), but the last few scenes really made me sit up and take notice. When the film was out, I was not really a fan. Now I know why I should have been a fan since then. Madhavan rocks!!!!

Madhavan's Stella
February 12, 2007

To work with internationally acclaimed director Deepa Mehta must be a dream for any actor; now, it is time for Madhavan's dream to come true.

This Tamil-born, secularly-brought-up actor has been making waves for over 10 years on the small screen as well as in movies, and Madhavan's career-graph has only been going higher and higher.

Madhavan's small but pivotal roles in Rang De Basanti and Mani Ratnam's Guru have catapulted him into more international fame than even before. Now, he is all set to wow audiences across the globe with his next film with Deepa Mehta, titled Stella.

In Stella, Madhavan and his on-screen belle of Guru, Vidya Balan, come together in a crazy comedy where Vidya plays the role of a housemaid. Shooting is expected to start later this year.

Deepa Mehta's Water, meanwhile, is being considered for the 79th Annual Academy Awards, better known as, the Oscars.

With such an intelligent choice of roles across various languages, Madhavan is proving to be not just a leading hero, but a sensible actor too.

With a girl next-door image and a few hit movies in her kitty, this petite girl is a promising contender for our Trishas and Asins. She is recently been roped in for the next Maddy starrer movie titled Vazhtukkal to be directed by Seeman who joins with Madhavan after Thambi.

Produced by Siva for Amma creations and music scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, Vazhtukkal is slated to hit the floors by the end of this month. Meanwhile readers would remember that Bhavana pairs opposite Maddy in Arya too which is ready for release.

Meanwhile, Bhavana, in an interview to a Malayalam tabloid, stated that she has pulled out of Simbu's next movie since she did not think it would be appropriate to pair up with Simbu. "He invited me for story discussion when I return to Chennai; however, I have decided not to take up the movie. Simbu's image is tarnished in Tamil cinema these days and I do not want to associate with him", Bhavana was quoted as saying.

Would like to know how seeman handles this movie...his movies seem deeply rooted to tamil culture/communism.

Madhavan as a Sri Lankan Tamil?

Post Thambi, Madhavan's career is back on track. Thambi's success was followed by a good outing in Irandu and Madhavan has now signed nearly half-a-dozen films, including a couple in Hindi.

His Evano Oruvan, a remake of Marathi hit Dombivili Fast, is nearing completion, and his Oru Naal Podhuma directed by Prathap Pothen would commence soon.

Prathap Pothen has planned to shoot the entire movie in Canada.

Sources say that Madhavan plays a Sri Lankan Tamil in the movie.

It may be recalled that Rameshwaram features Jeeva in the role of a Sri Lankan refugee, while one of the films featuring Sundar C as hero also dwells on the ethnic issue in Lanka.

Madhavan has trimmed his body and has lost several kilograms to suit the role in Oru Naal Podhuma.

Rendu is a good platform to excercise his comedic skills.

Thambi is a great movie. The one movie of Madhavan's that I revisit again and again. Amazing, eccentric performance. There is something terribly original about his performance. Sometimes, after certain scenes, I'd just shake my head, disbelieving what I see...how did he do it? So, do yourself a favour, watch Thambi again and see if he shouldn't have done it.

Music Review

IndiaGlitz [Friday, March 09, 2007]
Madhavan starrer Arya is all set for a release soon.

Directed by Love Today fame Balasekharan, the movie features
Bhavana, Prakash Raj and Devan in prominent roles.

Mani Sharma has come up with peppy music for the lyrics by Pa Vijay.

The album has five numbers rendered by the likes of Karthik,
Suchitra, Tippu, Anuradha Sriram and Saindhavi.

The album is sure to go down well with youngsters.

Aariya (Karthik, Suchitra)

Mani Sharma begins with peppy drums. A racy number, the title song
of the movie is set in a college campus. Karthik renders with his
usual charm and elegance. Pa Vijay has gone the Vaali way for this
song. In this song, the common terms used in college campus by the
students find a place.

Ennangira (Tippu, Anuradha Sriram)

A lilting song in the album. Anuradha Sriram hogs all the limelight
rendering it in a husky voice. Both the percussion and rendition are
vibrant.

Mani Sharma's apt use of percussion is a major highlight of this
song.

Chillae Chillae (Naveen, Saindhavi)

A romantic duet with guitar and saxophone dominating all through.
The song begins on a racy note and gathers momentum as it
progresses. The number possesses all ingredients to top the audio
charts. It is worth listening to, thanks to Naveen's catchy voice.

Jillendra Theeyae (Naveen, Rita)

Again, a romantic duet. Mani Sharma, who is popularly known for his
mass numbers, has opted for a `racy melody.'

Lyrics by Pa Vijay add strength to the tune.

A fusion between guitar and sitar is heartening to hear. And, watch
out for singer Rita. She is promising.

Arukinil Arukinil Vaada (Vardhani, Karthik)

A catchy song. It begins on a racy note but gradually settles down
with soothing use of guitar and flute. A welcome relief in the
album, which otherwise is packed with racy tunes. Karthik gets an
able company with Vardhini. Her tantalising voice provides a mystic
feel to listeners

Maddy's special one-day match

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

March 17, 2007

This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

Maddy's travel off the beaten track seems to be on a roll. After making splashes with his upcoming Evano Oruvan, Maddy has signed on the dotted line for yet another atypical movie. Earlier titled 'Nee Indri' and rechristened as 'Oru Naal Poduma', the movie is directed and co-starred by Prathap Pothen, and will narrate the incidents of a single day.

On getting Maddy signed for the project, Pothen reveals that the actor was bowled over by the script and nodded consent immediately after it was narrated to him. "He was impressed by the story and gave me dates without more ado", says Pothen.

Next came the heroine hunt. "We needed a girl who hails from a musical background with skills of dancing. During the process, we stumbled upon Rukmani who is from Bangalore. She underwent ballet and bharathnatiyam courses in the US," Pothen spills the beans about his heroine.

Shoots of Oru Naal Poduma are proposed to be held in Toronto - Canada. Touted to be a romantic musical journey, the movie will have hit trio Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy scoring. With Maddy playing the lead, nothing could get more romantic; agree?

Madhavan and Seeman together again
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, March 17, 2007]

The success of Thambi has brought together Madhavan and director Seeman again.

The duo would get down to work for a movie titled Vazhthukkal.

The movie would bring together Bhavana and Madhavan again, after Arya.

Siva of Amma Creations, who produced a few films in late 1990s including Raasaiya and Manickam, will be producing Vazhthukkal.

Madhavan has completed his Evano Oruvan. Vazhthukkal will go to floors this April. Upon its completion, Madhavan will get down to work for Prathap Pothen's Oru Naal Podhuma.

Madhavan is happy, for his Arya was completed last week and it is expected to hit the screens later next month.

Madhavan has just completed Leelai the bilingual for Ramgopal Varma in Tamil and Telugu (Adi oka idi le) . In fact the shooting for this film was wrapped up in just 30 days and it is a horror thriller. A song was shot in Thailand and Leelai is said to have shaped up well.
Maddy is flying to Canada tonight where he will be starting his next film titled Oru Naal Pothuma to be directed by Pratap Pothen. It is a candy floss love story set against the backdrop of Toronto. The film has Rukmani as heroine and has music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

So now the actor has three films Aarya, Evano Oruvan and Leelai getting ready for release. The buzz is that it will be Evano Oruvan that will hit the screens first by mid-April.

Hi to all. It seems like maddy is performing an action sequence in karate background(first time in his carrer) in his forthcoming aarya. I am very keen in watching how he is performing in that.

Director Balasekaran believes that cinema should be constructively exploited to convey worthy messages to the youth and his films are always considered a 'message movie'. He shot to fame with 'love today' with Vijay in the lead role and subsequently 'thulli thirinda kaalam' happened with Arunkumar.

Currently he is back in Kollywood after completing four Telugu films in Andhra Pradesh. Arya, his current Tamil venture has Maddy and Bhavna in the lead roles. This film is almost complete sans a few post production chores and will hit the screen next month.

While comparing the themes of his films he says he had condemned the indolent and lackadaisical behavior of unemployed youth in thulli thirinda kaalam. But in love today he had talked about achieving something before getting trapped in love. In Arya, he has given powerful signals to the youth community that violence is not the solution to any crisis. He adds, "I firmly believe that future of India rests with the youth population and all my films target only this audience. I use the medium of cinema to get across good messages to them".
