“A Couple of ‘not-so-good’ Films Don’t End His Career” – R Madhavan Backs Dhurandhar Co-star Ranveer
R Madhavan has come forward to support his co-star, Ranveer Singh, from their film Dhurandhar. The actor has addressed and dismissed any worries regarding Ranveer Singh potentially facing setbacks in the industry following the release of some films that were not as well-received.
During an interview, R Madhavan talked about the discussions around Ranveer Singh’s perceived “comeback,” stating, “I don’t think Ranveer Singh has ever been written off. A couple of ‘not so good’ films don’t end an actor’s career. He’s truly good and an extraordinary actor. But it makes a good copy in the press and media to keep writing people off and bring them back.”
R Madhavan also said, “If you see the great actors in Hollywood like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, they don’t do 50-60 films in their lifetime. They barely do 14-15 movies in their entire life. Even the biggest of stars, they also don’t do beyond 15 films in their lifetime. That is the pace of doing good stories. Here we think that if we are not shooting for three months, it means we are losing our market. Both Ranveer and I don’t come from that insecurity.”
R Madhavan also elaborated on the evolution of filmmaking in the contemporary era. He highlighted that today’s audience possesses greater knowledge and creating films for this new Indian audience requires both patience and accuracy.
He explained, “This is a whole new era. Now, we have to work really hard for our characters and stories to convince our audience because the common man today is well-educated. If we are making a movie for the empowered Indian then we will have to make efficient films. It takes time. So writing us off and writing us in is the job of the media, but we don’t think we are going anywhere.”
Apart from R Madhavan and Ranveer Singh, the cast of Dhurandhar includes Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, playing key roles. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is scheduled to be released on December 5.
