My next film is a biopic: R Madhavan

RMadhavan, whose last release was Saala Khadoos (2016), is gearing up to play a pilot in Chandamama Door Ke, a Sanjay Puran Singh directoria­l. Interestin­gly, Madhavan has played an air force pilot twice in — Rang De Basanti (2006) and in the TV show, Sea Hawks. “It is too early to talk about my role in the film. I play a pilot, and this is one of those films I am extremely excited about. Also, it’s good to work with Sushant (Singh Rajput) and Nawazuddin (Siddiqui), as they’re both extremely talented,” says Madhavan.

Besides this movie, he is also excited about another project — a biopic, which he feels will be his biggest film ever. “I have been working on this for the past four years, and now, I can proudly say that things are being finalised. It’s an extraordin­ary story of an unsung hero and it deserves to be told. It will go on floors this year, but let me tell you that the biopic is not on any sportspers­on or an actor’s life,” he says.

Rumours about the making of the third part of Tanu Weds Manu have also doing the rounds for some time now. But Madhavan says, “What, really? There is not even a germ of an idea that I am aware of. How am I supposed to confirm something I have absolutely no idea about? The problem with me is that like a typical Gemini, I get bored very easily. Having said that, I am yearning to work with the Tanu Weds Manu team once again. But unless Aanand (L Rai) offers me a triple role, I don’t think that will happen.”
