R. Madhavan Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von R. Madhavan:

Any story, any screenplay can only happen if the whole unit is professionally working towards it.

It's very embarrassing to talk of your own work before shooting for it and even before it is released. I have been a witness to many of our actors turning red-faced after their films release. I'd rather not be there.

R. Madhavan

I have always acted in films where women have an equal, if not bigger, role than mine. Don't the kind of films you do reflect your personality?

R. Madhavan

I dislike the trait of ungratefulness.

R. Madhavan

I am no more the 'chocolate boy.' Still, romance is always going to be a part of my life.

R. Madhavan

People of Maharashtra are close to my heart, and this is where I became who I am, and this has been instrumental in my formative years.

R. Madhavan

Any story, any screenplay can only happen if the whole unit is professionally working towards it.

R. Madhavan

If I look like a six-pack replete warrior in 'Tanu Weds Manu,' viewers are not going accept me.

R. Madhavan

For me, my realism has stood me over 15 years, so the kind of films that I have done has garnered enough respect for me to be able to survive the industry.

R. Madhavan

I value my independence a lot, and the thought of having to lose that due to age or any other reason terrifies me.

R. Madhavan

There is a time in every actor's life when he has to face the self-created hurdle after he starts getting bored of work and suddenly realises that he is left behind.

R. Madhavan

The thing about organic farming is that the produce will not look the same. Your tomato will not resemble the rich red one from the textbook, and that's the beauty of it.

R. Madhavan

I can think of doing TV shows if the money is good.

R. Madhavan

I learned different ways of working out. I learned a lot about my body. Let me just say that Arnold Schwarzenegger had 20-inch biceps when he did his first film, and when I did 'Saala Khadoos,' being a vegetarian, I managed 18 and half inches.

R. Madhavan

I am a south Indian, so I speak Tamil.

R. Madhavan

I think Anand Rai is one of the few brilliant directors we have.

R. Madhavan

It is a privilege that women fancy me, but I cannot sustain the chocolate boy image forever. I don't want to end up being known, like the late veteran Tamil actor Gemini Ganesan was, as the king of romance.

R. Madhavan

Being a parent, it is heartening to see your child wake up every day at 5:45 in the morning to pursue his passion and then manage school as well.

I was really lucky and blessed to have had the likes of directors such as Mani Ratnam and Rajkumar Hirani in my career.

R. Madhavan

Oh, I have very limited will power. I wish I could change that. I am working on it, though. I am too easygoing.

R. Madhavan

I realised after doing 'Tanu Weds Manu' that I had become fat and was not performing to the mark. I realised that I had become a terrible actor. I did 'Jodi Breakers,' which did not do well. So, I moved away from the film industry and lived with the common man to know where I was lacking and what do they want from an actor.

R. Madhavan

I might sound audacious, but the Mahatma has been a great inspiration. He had the conviction to live with his beliefs in the face of total disbelief.

I am not someone who would raise my voice to seek publicity. I am a responsible citizen, and I continue to be so.

R. Madhavan

I do only one film at a time.

R. Madhavan

I studied B.Sc electronics to be an engineer and later did masters in communication and advertising. I loved engineering for what it could accomplish to make our lives easier. But, I realised that it was not my passion.

R. Madhavan

Television is a good training ground for aspiring stars. You can experiment and get away, imbibing the positive and viable aspects. Whereas, in cinema, the stakes are high. If something goes wrong, the film falls flat.

R. Madhavan

I had built my body to look like a boxer, then I lost it completely for 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns.' It was really tough gaining weight, building muscles, and then losing it completely for another film.

I told my wife that I want to take a three-year break. She supported me and said, 'Please go ahead.' I am grateful that she supported me. For me, this romance and understanding is very important in our marriage.

I struggle on many fronts on having to move to a different level, having to cater to constantly evolving audiences.

R. Madhavan

I always believe that the elders in my family are the reason for my success.

R. Madhavan

Actually Maddy is my name. But I feel that whenever you address somebody, there needs to be certain amount of dignity rendered to it - irrespective of whether it's a film star or somebody you are fond of. I find it very pleasing when somebody refers to me as 'Mr. Madhavan' or 'Sir' or 'Mr. Maddy.'
