Glad got to play age-appropriate role in romantic films: R Madhavan
Mumbai, Actor R Madhavan on Wednesday said he feels blessed to have had the opportunity to play age-appropriate roles in romantic films whether it was 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein' or his upcoming feature, 'Aap Jaisa Koi'. Glad got to play age-appropriate role in romantic films: R Madhavan
Starring Madhavan as 42-year-old man Shrirenu Tripathi and Fatima Sana Shaikh as 32-year-old Madhu Bose, the film is a heartwarming drama that celebrates connection, companionship, and the beauty of discovering 'Barabari Wala Pyaar' in the most unexpected circumstances.
'I realised that it doesn't matter which age you fall in love. When you fall in love for the first time you behave like a teenager no matter where in which position you are in, you become like a teenager. Vivek has beautifully captured this tale of first time love,' Madhavan said at the trailer launch event here.
Looking back at his love stories of his career be it the ever-popular 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein', 'Tanu Weds Manu' or 'Aap Jaisa Koi', Madhavan said few people get the opportunity to play their age in such stories.
'My journey with love stories started with 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein', in which I played a young man of that time and the way they express love. Also, my other film, 'Tanu Weds Manu' was an age appropriate love story.
"After so many years, I'm doing a romantic story which is age appropriate, and very few people get that opportunity. When I heard the story and I learnt that I'm playing a 40-year-old man, I felt it's good to show their love stories. It was a wonderful journey for me from 'RHTDM' to 'Aap Jaisa Koi',' Madhavan said.
'Aap Jaisa Koi' is directed by Vivek Soni of 'Meenakshi Sundareshwar' fame and is produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment. The film is set to release on Netflix on July 11.

(Also read: Aap Jaisa Koi trailer has fans loving Fatima Sana Shaikh, R Madhavan's fresh pairing: 'Maddy in romance can't go wrong') Fatima Sana Shaikh spoke about her medical condition. In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Fatima said, 'I had a major episode when I had multiple seizures. I was travelling to the USA and it was via Dubai flight. I got seizures on the flight. Then I was taken to the airport hospitals, I was given the medication but then also my seizures weren't stopping, then they give me a very high dose. I was on different chemicals and I was already on a different chemical. I was working on two different films then and I had to cancel shoots. I could not get out of bed and cried when someone called for a shoot. My emotions were all over the place. I was like this is my reality now. At that time I accepted that this is my disease and people also should know about it as it will help others.' 'It is heartbreaking' She went on to add, 'There are kids who have multiple seizures in a day. Their lives are hampered and it is heartbreaking. They do not get perks that fall under special needs category, in education. I also understood much later… imagine the ones who are underprivileged. They have no access to education and even to medicines. There is a lot of stigma attached it. I have some following so I can say that if I can use that in some way then that's completely okay.' Metro… In Dino is directed by Anurag Basu. The film also stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Neena Gupta. The music has been composed by Pritam. The film is set to hit the screens on July 4. Fatima will also be seen in Aap Jaisa Koi opposite R Madhavan. The romantic comedy will release on Netflix on July 11.
