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.

Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' Trailer: R. Madhavan returns to his romantic avatar, opens up on his fitness, 'They have been accusing me of...'
At the trailer launch of the film, the actor spoke about his fitness and if he's aging backwards. 'They have all been accusing me of doing de-aging.' read more What happens when a quiet 42-year-old man unlocks a part of himself he never knew existed — and begins to rewrite the rules of his own life? Netflix has dropped the trailer for Aap Jaisa Koi (loosely translated as 'Someone Like You'), starring R. Madhavan as Shrirenu Tripathi and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Madhu Bose, bringing audiences a heartwarming family drama that celebrates connection, companionship, and the beauty of discovering 'Barabari Wala Pyaar' in the most unexpected circumstances. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At the trailer launch of the film, the actor spoke about his fitness and if he's aging backwards. 'They have all been accusing me of doing de-aging. But I don't think we have the budget for that. When I went to train for Salakkadu, I went to all these dietitians and a lot of people who were telling me how to lose weight, how to get fit, and have this diet, eat at this time and everything,' revealed the actor. Madhavan added, 'And I really couldn't find somebody I resonated with. Then I met a old timer, like a really old guy. That kind of guy who's sitting there, not as sophisticated guy. And I said that I really want to look like a boxer. I want to lose go eat in the right place and tell me what can I do.' 'He said input is equal to output. That's all. So I think, from that day onwards, I am just, only eating when I'm hungry. I know I don't eat on time. I also eat when I'm hungry, so that works for me.' On his latest and last projects I don't think anybody could have designed the releases and the kind of projects that I got. But I ended up doing only four projects in fourteen years in terms of movies. So my wife said enough. Get out. Make some money. So I started accepting. But I had the good fortune of working with some very new directors. And they're bringing a completely different fresh perspective, to the storytelling. And I'm finding that very exciting and challenging. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD More about the film Marking Madhavan's much-awaited return to the romance genre, Aap Jaisa Koi pairs him with Fatima Sana Shaikh in a story that defines what inner liberation and 'barabari wala pyaar' (equal love) truly mean. Directed by Vivek Soni (Meenakshi Sundareshwar) and produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, the film is brought to life by a powerhouse ensemble cast including Ayesha Raza, Manish Chaudhari and Namit Das, each adding nuance to this honest, heartfelt exploration of family, identity, patriarchy, and the emotional truths we often hide — even from ourselves.
