The famous superstar from the south Indian cinema and also quite a popular in recent day`s Bollywood films, Madhavan is plying one of the lead characters in Nishikant Kamath`s upcoming Hindi film Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan. The film is totally based on the real story of the July 2006 Mumbai bombings and it seems that Madhavan has a very good on-screen relation with trains.
This relationship has been continuing from the very first film of his career to his latest project. Madhavan too is aware of this and he commented, "In my first Tamil film, Alaipayuthey, I was commuting in local trains while wooing my co-star. Recently for Nishikant Kamath`s Yenavu Oruvan, my character spent all his time traveling by train. Now I`m working on a third film where the local trains play an energetic part".
Madhavan, popularly known as Maddy among his friends also said, "After `Rang De Basanti, I had to be very careful about what I did in Hindi. No matter what, it had to be something that addressed itself to the nation`s conscience. Nishikant`s Mumbai Meri Jaan was just what I needed". He was also talking about his choices about the films and told, "Not that I won`t be doing fun films. Sure I will. But Mumbai Meri Jaan hits you where it hurts. It`s based on the July 2006 train bombings in Mumbai. Paresh Rawal, K.K. Menon, Irrfan Khan, Soha Ali Khan and I play different people grappling with various issues after the terrible explosions in Mumbai".
The film, Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan by Nishikant Kamath is going to be the third film based on the 2006 Mumbai explosions. The other two are the forthcoming projects like Neeraj Pandey`s Wednesday and Joy Augustine`s Little Godfather. However, all the three films are looking at the tragedy from different point of views. While talking about so many films on the same subject, Madhavan said, "It`s good to see Hindi cinema moving towards the headlines. If I come to Mumbai to do a Hindi film I`d like to go into projects that challenge me as an artiste and thinking individual. I`ve worked with Soha in Rang De Basanti. But never with Paresh, Irrfan and KK". So, the time will only say how Madhavan is going to successful in his newest project in Mumbai.
