Guys, thanks a lot for the previous thread. Lots of information and appreciation shared about this wonderful actor. Let's move on from here. My short intro writeup:

Charming with good (great?) looks, R. Madhavan is everything an actor with limited capabilities should be. Having said that, he is arguably the most versatile actor of his generation, and one thing that sets him apart is his involvement in films other than that of Tamizh language.

Dogged by the ridiculous chocolate boy tag, he went on to prove that he is more than a “pretty boy” by appearing in films like Aytha Ezhuttu (street gangster), Thambi (Che Guevara on Chennai streets), Anbe Sivam (comic sidekick), Ethiri (bad mother impersonator), and largely unseen Evano Oruvan (everyday man on rampage).

There is much more where that talent came from. R. Madhavan is neither superstar to be, or superactor in the waiting. He is R. Madhavan, a fine actor.

Poll

  Priyamana Tozhi. This is not a film for him, though he did his best, the direction and the editing (must be a slow bugger the editor, alway few frames late) let everything down.

  
  
  He really tried to make it (a Vikraman film) watchable. Apart from Madhavan, everything was done in excess, excruciating almost.

  Aamir gets public reaction for 3 Idiots!

  Aamir Khan doesn't want to take chances with his upcoming venture. To get an honest opinion about his film, the actor has invited hundred people to watch the first half of 3 Idiots.
  
  So would the story plot be leaked? We don't think so, for the people who are getting this rare opportunity are bound by a Non Disclosure Agreement. It will prevent people from discussing the movie or passing any opinion or judgment on it.
  
  Needless to say, the 'lucky' people were more than thrilled and even took part in a film-discussion with the lead actor Aamir Khan after watching it, where Aamir encouraged them to speak their minds.
  
  The practice of signing an NDA is quite common in Hollywood studios that hold screenings for a discerning public across the board nearly six months before a movie makes it to the screens.
  
  This is the first time it has happened in Bollywood. That's surely not an idiotic strategy Aamir!

  Aamir unveils 3 Idiots' first look
  
  Mumbai, (ANI): Bollywood actors Aamir Khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi on Thursday unveiled the first look of their upcoming film 3 Idiots in Mumbai. 3 Idiots is a celluloid adaptation of author Chetan Bhagat's best selling fiction Five Point Someone. Directed by Raj Kumar Hirani, the movie 3 Idiots is a story of three friends whose dismal grade point averages at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) influenced their friendship, love life and career choices.
  
  Buzz up!
  Addressing the media while presenting the maiden look of their film, Aamir Khan said that film is inspired from individuals, who were considered to be idiots for working on certain causes, but finally made a mark changing a lot in society. “There are many people like this in history. When we see them initially, we feel amused, but later on we realize that they are doing the right thing. So, the tag line of the film is ''Don''t be stupid, be an idiot''.
  
  
  Stupid is someone who is ''bewakoof'' (unintelligent), but being an idiot is a good thing and not wrong. People would realize this if not today, but surely in the future,” Aamir Khan said. Aamir plays the character of Rancho, who is a free-spirited young man and ever confused about kissing.
  
  Indeed, he has tasted success playing roles of a college student in movies such as Dil Chahta Hai, Rang de Basanti and now it is the turn of 3 Idiots. R. Madhavan, who has worked with Aamir in their last successful film Rang De Basanti, said that his character is of Farhan Qureshi, who quite willingly deviates towards the wrong path making him look like an idiot in the film.
  
  “My name is Farhan Akhtar… Farhan Qureshi. This is my idiocracy. I love animals a lot and there is an adage in English ''Barking up the wrong tree''. So, I am like that always walking upon the wrong path with full enthusiasm,” R Madhavan said. The film is produced and directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and it is slated for a Christmas release.
