Madhavan: My Best Work Is Yet To Come
18 Apr
Summary
- Madhavan feels inadequate despite decades in acting.
- He avoids stardom's lifestyle and prefers diverse roles.
- Mani Ratnam's trust validated his acting abilities.
Despite nearly three decades in the film industry, R. Madhavan maintains that his finest performances are yet to come. He shared that a persistent feeling of inadequacy fuels his drive, preventing him from ever feeling fully accomplished. Madhavan noted that financial stability has never been absolute, thus maintaining his hunger for more challenging roles.
Madhavan also expressed his unsuitability for a star's lifestyle, finding it difficult to maintain the public persona often expected. He consciously chose unconventional roles early in his career, like playing a father in 'Kannathil Muthamittal' shortly after a romantic lead in 'Alaipayuthey', a move many advised against.
The actor credited Mani Ratnam for instilling confidence in his abilities. While he initially doubted his career path after his debut, Ratnam's subsequent offer for 'Kannathil Muthamittal' confirmed his belief in Madhavan as a capable actor.
