"Kamal Haasan taught me to take a back seat for the benefit of a film" | Madhavan | Face2Face

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- R Madhavan, star of the Amazon Prime original Breathe, talks about his 20-year-old career (his first major role, in the Kannada film Shanti Shanti Shanti, was in 1998). He laughs about being too "mature" for romantic roles, and discusses opting for quality over quantity, and his biggest reality check. He speaks about upcoming projects like Chanda Mama Door Ke, a sci-fi film about an Indian astronaut landing on the moon, and Savyasachi, his Telugu film with Naga Chaitanya. He talks about whether a Rajinikanth or a Shah Rukh Khan is possible anymore, and about the differences between Bollywood and the Tamil film industry -- including Dhanush's role in Raanjhanaa. He speaks on Pushkar-Gayatri's Vikram Vedha, and about his experiences of working with Mani Ratnam, Anand L Rai, Rituparno Ghosh, Kamal Haasan and Rajkumar Hirani.

If this guy was my lecturer... I would have passed all my classes man! Maddy is so good at the words he choose
he was a teacher and married his student
@@iyeraishu1 No sis.... He married his spoken English student's *cousin* , who came to mumbai for holidays.
The most underrated Indian actor. Maddy is the Rahul Dravid of actors (honest, sincere, overlooked). For eg: He was as good as Vijay Sethupathi in Vikram Veda but his performance is not talked about.
thiruvetti very true 😊😊
In vikram veda, vijay sethupathi just outshined madhavan,its not that madhavan is not good or not better.But vijay sethupathi's portrayal of each character he get is exceptional, and i think veda is the hero of vikram veda not vikram.
Please Vijay Setupathi is on whole another level and chose every role before just being a yes man like Madhavan who has being a big let down for me.
I love both Rahul Dravid and Madhavan
So weird I was just thinking about Rahul Dravid & how underrated he is & watching his old ads. This came on my home page & started watching..your comment was the first one.
Can't think of any actor who can articulate as well as Maddy. His language and flow of thought is just phenomenal!
Yes! He really spoke well, didn't he?
True
No surprises there.. The guy was once a motivational speaker. One of the very rare multi faceted actors tamil cinema has.
Sharath Sriram I think Vikram is quite good too!
I think no other Tamil actor is educated. They can't string one grammatically coherent sentence in English.Even if they are educated they are pretty dumb. Plus Madhavan is a Tambrahm(iyengar) who grew up in North India so naturally he has sophisticated English proficiency and wisdom which is completely lacking in culture-less rowdy Tamil cinema world.
He articulates so well in English, Hindi and tamil with same perfection and passion...he is a beautiful blend of intelligence, good looks and humility....mad over maddy 😍
And humanity too...
The only actor who has made a perfect balance between Bollywood and south films. Love him!

He is fluent in Hindi because he was born in Bihar.
That's true.....
48 mins of absolute gold! Thank u Baradwaj Sir for asking the right questions. It’s so rare to see such intelligent film based conversations.
Thank you.
Jyotsna Ramachandran how do you have 10 mins extra
I want to watch Madhavan in a mature romantic story. He's so handsome even now that I get goosebumps when I see him in romantic stories. Badly waiting Maddy!!!
Exactly......a good story like once again would be perfect
So true.. he's such a gentleman
VTV 2 is coming. Hope it blesses us soon!
Not only you!

I dare you to find a person who mentions his/her process with conviction and detail of Madhavan. It was a takeaway fest not only in terms of film making but life in general. 48 mins of pure gold.

So hes saying families r paying 5000 rupees to watch a movie ..
The majority people in mimbai cannot afford to spend that kind of money on 2 hours of their time. And materially get nothing out of it..
He gives an example of the marathi movie making 90 crores in 2days in mumbai alone..even when the pirate cds have come out..
So how did the movie halls makr 90 crores for that movie when the interviewee here admits the pirate cds where already out..with the majority not being able to afford the tickets as a family...when purate cds are available..why would the public spend 5000 out of a modal salary of 25000 per month..when pirate cds r out..the pirate cds r printed by the same criminal groups so as to make the movie accesible to the majjority so as to create an illusion that the movie has been watched..the majority of the public cant even afford to have a cd player...they r living food to mouth..
The only way is that umaudited ticket sales are fake sales ..laumdering drug money ..and other black money from criminal activities..
Either this actor is so naive of this propbabilty that what runs movies have and always been drug money laundering and organ trafficking rimgs...
All the movie industry can be is to be disengenuous as to how it makes disgusting amounts of money..when most of us who watches movies online ir wait for it to come on tv..
He is foolimg everyone when he talks about econimics of the film industry and laughably ignores the crime industry that has funded this induatry for a long time to launder its process..whether it be d company or not..
There is an elephant in that imterview room..can anyone see it..
It supports child prostitution rings ..drug rings..organ traffickking rings ...please be the discernable public that u should be and not be fooled by the black magic of hollywood or bollywood..or any other woods..the truth is hiding in the woods dont be afraid to discover it ..dont be decieved ..
This actor and other in his industry r beleiving their oen created illusions that the public is living to watch movies..i can easily afford watching movies and i dont go watch them in cinema halls..even i think the ticket money is too much..i can get about 4 good meals from that money..why should i bet my money to give me a good time to watch people making a fool of themselves daaancing and prancing around..
Im also educated enough to understand that by paying money to these unaudited ticket halls i am suppirting the criminal enterprises laundering money..
I also educated enough to take 2 minutes of my life and look up the true meaning of the word ENtertainment..
It means to keep someone in a particular state of mind..ie in a programmed state..because we r programmable ..just like this interview has programmed both the intervieer ..interviewee and audience to believe that people r watching movies in their droves and making crores for these d company agents.when the majority r living food to mouth..and he is trign to convinve the punlic they will spend rs 5000 on a single song and dance show..5000rupees is about 70 pounds ..even majority of people in london cant afford to spend that much money on watchinng a movie and guruji here is saying majority people in mumbai who r busy trying to live food to mouth r saving about a 5th of thier salary waiting fir the bollywood idols and gods to come down and bless them with 2 hours of " entertainment" .am i programmed enough to be dumbed down enough to be spending 2 hours of 2d fakery on the screen when i can spend 2minutes with a dictionary reading the truth.. i am not fake ..what will be fake is..
Fake news..fake bollywood..fake economy..we r all been conned and khanned into a reality show..of fakery
Do the math
truthdemon I agree with you. But the honesty actually struck me. He thinks like that, he didn't mince words and yes there are plenty of flaws in his statements but the thing to look here was he mentions whatever he believes not what is good to say. I am not a very good writer, so I couldn't put my thoughts concisely.
truthdemon I am not very aware of the unaudited money here but I love cinema.

When u buy a ticket does it have ur name on it
Bharadwaj sir, you are the greatest interviewer I have EVER seen in India. You could sense the comfort with which Madhavan was speaking with you because he knew you realize what cinema actually is. Great work! Loved Maddy's answer and his pragmatism. And yes , hoping to see him do one more romantic film (age-appropriate of course) 😍
Oh wow. Thank you so much, Sumit!
Watch the slow interview it's also amazing😊😊😊
Close behind him is Sudhir Srinivasan.... God, his interviews of GVM are on next level
The best interview I've watched in recent times!
Loved the interviewer, the way he 'took a backseat' and let Madhavan unleash his passion, his words by throwing crisp, to the point and refreshing questions was marvellous to watch.
Cannot wait for more interviews such as this masterpiece!
Finally ! A real,self made film critic. Interviewing a real ,self made actor.
Got goosebumps while watching it.. Was much better than watching any movie in theater.! Never thought 48 minutes could be so less.. Need more and more of Maddy's superb intellectual conversations. The guy really down to earth and never takes credit for himself.
Very intelligent guy..thought I'll watch few min of it.. ended up watching whole
Brahmins and malayalee are intelligent species.
@@prasadraghu2008 kuchh bhi
@@jawwadmobinSAJID yes buddy. This is the pattern that I have observed.
@@jawwadmobinSAJID it's got something to do with palakad, western ghats, eating curd rice.
Yeah! Me too!
Madhvan is so keen on terms of movies even after so many years of his career. His understanding of audience is so true and apt. That's actually what happens in our middle class house holds. He's not just a brilliant actor , but also a really intelligent individual who is aware of each and every thing going around him . Also want to appreciate the host. He's listening Maddy with so much interest and not interrupting him as other hosts now a days do.
Only Pan India actor who is loved by everyone.
Siddharth as well!
Also Sid
Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth both acted in multiple North Indian films as well.....
@@Blaze6432 but r maadhavan has more fans than kamaal haasan in north
@@kunjar true.
What a language command this man has got!! Been a Personal Development and Life Skills Trainer before his stint as an Actor. I ve always seen him with respect that way.
Half his beard is white and look at the childlike excitement he has in eyes as he speaks.Only passion can let you play such a big innings when you are working in films in 3 languages.Not to forget RHTDM
Every time you ammezed me I could not live without comment you deserve praise
I literally thought to only watch this for few minutes but ended watching it full! Awestruck with Maddy's communications skill! I can keep on watches him talking!
Specially, he is genuine in his talks. He grabs the audience attention with his speech. Not everyone could have that tallent.
Bharadwaj is amongst the best interviewer I've seen!!! He lets it flow and that adds magic to the interview. The questions are also linked to Maddys answers
Aandavar and Madhavan we need another film like Anbe Sivam
Nagaraj P 44:15...but I wud suggest u to watch the entire thing

Thank You Baradwaj. I think you should take masterclass about how to take interview to all the other film personality interviewers. Its amazing really. Keep going on.
Thank you :-)
Yes
He somehow is making the actors speak some genuine stuff ...
ditto .
Wow! The most intelligent and honest interview of a film person I have seen in a long time. Credits to both.
The feeling that your fan is not dumb and rather brains too with talent is amazing! Love Madhavan.
Excellent interview. Intellectual conversations. Questions were so good, so much thought process in preparing the questions and Maddy nailed it effortlessly. Hands down to this most talented,versatile and almost underrated actor.
Awesome! I like the elaborate answers Madhavan gives to every of ur lovely questions BR. 😍👍🏻
This is one of the most humbling and honest interview I've seen. I've never seen madhavan like this . He is an inspiration!! Watched the entire interview in one go!! [Never thgt I wld do tht] The best ❤❤❤❤❤
I was thinking of tweeting BR asking if he could do an interview / profile of Maddy. Glad to see that he's already done it and posted! Loved it.
Thanks! :-)
Was a delight to hear Madhavan. I still remember I was a fan of his character in Sea Hawks. That charm and gift of gab still exists. Enhanced even. Hope you keep doing great work!
Oh boy! I must admit am not a gr8 fan of his acting but he & SRK two magnificent speakers. Can sit for hours listing him talk. & his knowledge about d market & willingness to adapt z commendable..
Yes, his willingness to adapt the very concept of a hero has been his strength.
jinesh pn
Its not d market its d company market
Just curious why don't you like his acting? He has always made an impression in the smallest of roles in Hindi films. I haven't watched his South stuff though.

Whether it be bollywood or kollywood..they r all a front for money laundering..we the brainwashed public greater actors than these d commpany agents..we act out a fantssy that the criminal world is not funding and laundering money via the box office..stop supporting crime by worshipping these false idols
That may be because they are perfect family men .
Damn, he's exceptionally smart. I met him few weeks back in the states, I was totally impressed by him
Lucky guy
UNPAUSABLE!
I was never bored for even a second of this interview.. he is a treat to watch on screen and off screen.. such an intelligent human being
The most charming n handsome maddy ♥️
R.Madhavan this is how he addresses himself every where never forgetting his roots and as per the interview how many of our actors analyses audiences interest like him. Intelligent and realistic acyor
Yet another sensible interview. There are very few people who can engage the audience just by having a very casual conversation and Maddy nails it every time. People like him teach you about how to be heard without being loud and arrogant.
Kamal moment 44:15 ...
Thanks man
Thank you
thank u
thanks man
No I want to watch entire interview 😊😊
Madhavan is an extremely intelligent guy
Love listening to him
This mannnnn still gives shivers! What an outstanding interview, he's so so soooo intelligent and charming at the same time!
One of the best interviews seen in a long time. Interesting and clever questions. And Maddy was top notch. He really knows his stuff. Sharing all that experience. Loved it. ❤
That spark in his eyes !! God ... He is such a passionate guy 🔥
All my life i had such a huge liking towards this guy. He is perfect... He is soooooo charming and well aware and well spoken. I love him ♥ God bless you Maddu(my nickname for him )
gosh smart questions & even smarter answers....maddys awesome as usual.
He does such brilliant, innovative work. Not like everyone else.
The most intelligent and inoculate conversation I have heard from an actor. Amazing interview
Wow..the way he shares his knowledge with so much honesty and he also puts it in simplistic terms...MADDY!!
Maddy is an intelligent and underrated actor. Always loved watching him. Keep up the good work.

Maddy and SSR talk alike. Its a sign of passion, knowledge and intelligence.
They are very similar..I always though of SSR as young Madhavan
Both from bihar
Engineers
Outsiders
Criminally underrated
Both can fly
Very thoughtful
What a joy this was!Rivited the whole way through.Maddy is an inspiration
great interview!! I especially liked the interviewer; he didnt interrupt or cut Madhavan. He listened and that's uncommon with people.

Absolute brilliance on both sides of the table...!!
Didn't even skip a sec of this interview! Such a class interview!
I just love the clarity which Maddy always his in his speeches...He is perfect guy. Luv it
One of the most educated actor from India. Normally i see only Bollywood actors speaking English like him. He speaks like English guy. Very knowledgeable and intellectual. He has many fans outside India. He is famous worldwide.Love frm Malaysia.
Yup....bcoz he was raised up in North India......
I've never met him but when I listen him speak, I feel like my elder brother is talking to me !!
This guy is too intelligent for movie business
Just mindblowing he is such a keen observer so relatable.I truly admire him as a person
Every minute of interview, Maddy's way of giving his movie experiences makes it interesting all along!!!
Thank you for always coming up with great film related content and intelligent questions.
Madhavan is such an intelligent and liberal actor and human being. Always a pleasure to watch his interviews. Brilliant interview. Thanks for this one!!
this is brilliant.. Time we hear the ladies speak,,especially Trisha, Nayantara,Manju Warrier , Anushka shetty, Parvathi
This was a very good interview! There is a charming quality and genuiness about R. Madhavan. Day by day I enjoy so many videos from Film companion. 😊 Keep up the good.
Brilliant interview. Spot on talk, no beating around n Bharadwaj made maddy do the talking. Maddy seems well read, his diction seems impervious to mistakes or blabbery. Maddy was always my hero from days of minnale.
What a honest interview... thought provoking. And a charmer as always
I was skeptical about watching breathe but seeing excitement of Madhavan about finale I will watch it
What a clarity in his thought. Shows how he has evolved with the changing industry. Fantastic Maddy
What an interview..🙌🏻 it was so good that it didn't even feel like an interview, felt like 2 intelligent cinema lovers talking about movies. No stupid gossiping, no stupid questions. Top class. Keep it up..👍🏻👍🏻
48 min well spent... Many of the points discussed on the beginning of the video are relevant not only for film industry but life in general. We always tend to get into a comfort zone, and that's when the root starts to set in. Breaking that mold is the key to continuous success. Great conversation, BR & Maddy!
One of the best and rarest interviews I have come across even though it's little late but as they say better late than never!
whatta great conversation ♥️
This was a fantastic interview. Why do we need to have a FC "South" Channel. Cant we have FC for good "Indian" cinema in general. There is an audience that is deprived of good content and talks on FC due to this segregation. Good cinema is good cinema - north, south korean whatever. FC should be a means to educate different audiences of the different types of cinema.
How many from North do you think watch south movies. And how many do you think watch all hindi movies. What's wrong having a separate channel for South
Just awesome. When two intellects join together for a cause the outcome is always phenomenal.
Why doesn't he blink... Madhavan scares me when he doesn't blink... I feared he was going to get a heart attack...🤣
Satya Subhash he’s very focused and detailed on the message that he’s delivering.. 👀
LOL he blinked he blinked @12:02
Hey he blinked couple of times
It is such a joy to watch Madhavan speak. I have enjoyed watching this entire interview not minding the time. Pure gold!
Quality over Quantity is survival technique.fact.We as an audience loved this thinking.These days In every industry good movies are being made except Telugu industry.Don't say Bahubali.Malayalam, Hindi & Tamil industry gives good cinema.I want their maker to be more concern abt quality.And Maddy U r awesome.Loved this intervoew.
saktiprasad swain so true! Telugu industry has So much talent but cliché content!
What about godavari , vedam , Arjun Reddy , and recently AAa? Check the stats.....
vishnuvardhan reddy add rangasthalam n mahanati too
Dude!! I think u dont know much about telugu Industry, before making generalised statements, get u r facts right. We Have our own “Classical” movies.
@@saitejapanduri923 and yes mahanati is a BILINGUAL film but
I am from Sri Lanka. His English is very clear and concise. I was much delighted to listen to his conversations. Thanks very much
Awesome interview. The knowledge that Madhavan has towards cinema is fantastic. The knowledge that this guy has to do a quality movie, not many Tamil mass heroes have in selecting their own script.
Wonderful interview... Madhavan's self awareness is so refreshing compared to the others in the industry!
really admire Madhavan's communication and language skills.

Phenomenal interview. Appropriate questions asked and most engaging conversation I have seen so far. Mr. Bharadwaj , I really like your work.
This is just so useful for aspiring filmmakers,actors and or anyone related to film.
This's one of the best interviews I watched in a long long time...
If Maddy is Rahul Dravid of Indian Cinema, Bharathwaj Rangan is Lional Messi of Cine-Intellects.
M. very professional witty actor he needs more recognition for both north & South movies. Good luck 👍🏾 hey South Africa 🇿🇦
He is a great motivational life coach, a trained public speaker. His command over the language, English is phenomenal and deserves a big round of applause. he is also very down to earth which is very rare in film industry
Thanks for the intelligent and engrossing post. I am a great fan of Madhavan. This interview has showcased his oratorical skills and he is really articulate. Looking forward for such interviews
Loved the way Maddy, tried to explain his point to interviewer about the age factor. Vice versa, the interviewer was keen to know what he meant. This is really nice ( 17:00- 19:00)

OMG...He is not only a brilliant actor but also a super orator. His speech, the way of talking, everything is awesome. I think he has to be the part of many more films...
What a genuine man he is..!! Truly an inspiration..!!
Such a great and insightful interview. I'm not even a hardcore fan of Madhavan. I like him, but not a hardcore fan. I only started to look back at him when he talked so excitingly about Peerkangai in his terrace garden. :D Such a humble and down-to-earth and intellectual guy. What he said about his parents is very impressive and it makes it clear why he has grown up to be such a great guy with all the great qualities. Hats off to his parents.
Very few actors r blessed to be loved by all fans..Maddy is one such actor...
One of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. Love the intelligence and humbleness Madhavan has
Bharadwaj sir, I have been reading your reviews for a few years now and I can say that you're the best, most eloquent, unbiased and insightful film reviewer in India; yes, better than Anupama and Rajeev.
We as an audience definitely appreciate intelligent and yet relatable films. it is refreshing to see that interviews have gradually shifted towards better conversations versus pure Gossip.
OMG WHAT AN AMAZING INTERVIEW! Hats off to Madhavan hearing his journey to find his hunger and drive again for his craft. A very intelligent conversation and he stays relevant to the times. His insight into the directors mentioned makes me want to go and watch back some of their movies that are my favourite especially Mani Ratnam’s Anjali.
Most interesting perfect interview i have ever seen meaningful questions and very justified answers by Madhavan ....His pronunciation and explanation are extremely good..It clearly resembles his great character i like hum very much long live madhavan
What a clarity! Pleasure listening to Maddy. And sensible, relevant intelligent questions. Good job!
Maddy all the best for breathe.A huge step has been taken by u.
Oh, Madhavan! I would sell my soul to see you on silver screen again and again! What a wonderful person you are!
cruise control phase - such an innovative choice of words! #lovefromhyderabad
He is so intelligent, an amazing actor and so LOVEABLE!!
Such a thought provoking and intelligent interview. Maddy has such in-depth knowledge of Tamil filmmaking in this era.
