Actor R Madhavan, in a new interview, talked about how he is in awe of Kangana Ranaut for delivering impressive performances in all kinds of genre.
R Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut have delivered two hits together- Tanu Weds Manu in 2011 and Tanu Weds Manu Returns in 2015. In a recent interview, the former was all praise for his co-star. He said that Kangana isn’t a cliché heroine, who walks away after being slapped by men in her movies.
While speaking with Rohan Dua about the strong women in his life, Madhavan said that the leading ladies of his all his films have been strong and counted Kangana as one among them.
The Alaipayuthey actor said, “I had a good fortune of growing up with some really strong women in my house itself. My mother was manager of a bank in Bihar for 30 years. So, you see how strong women are. I think they are the stronger species. They last much longer. If you look at your grandparents, I can promise you that today your grandfather would be actually relying more on your grandmother than vice versa. That’s a universal truth that all men have to reconcile with.”
Madhavan said that he had the good fortune of working with heroines like Kangana Ranaut and Shalini who are women with opinion and not pushovers.
“They are not the cliché heroines, who come in and dance in a couple of movies and get slapped by the man and walk away. These are not the kind of films I have ever done or want to do in my life. People who indulge in those kinds of stories are really foolish in today’s world. But to recognise the strength that they bring on to the screen because of their personal achievements as well as their experience and their ability to act is very important,” said the actor.
Talking about Kangana, he said, “She is really an extraordinary actor who brings so much to the roles that she does. And look at what she is doing today across all genres of films, I am quite in awe.”
Meanwhile, the Queen actress responded to R Madhavan’s statements with a tweet that read, “Sharma ji aap bade darling type ho (you are a darling).”
Workwise, Madhavan was last seen in Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. The actor recently signed a film with ‘Thiruchitramchalam’ director Jawahar Mitran.
