Fresh after the Sony Max success, Mandira Bedi was flooded with film offers, and many were from the Tamil film industry. It is well known to all movie buffs in Tamil Nadu that she spurned the offer made by the national award-winning director Parthipan. He even flew her down to Chennai but after the meeting, Mandira Bedi backed out of the project.. She who refused all the offers from the Tamil industry till now somehow couldn't say ‘no’ to young Silambarasan. Silambarasan managed to impress her with his knowledge of films and energy. His father T. Rajendran used to produce, direct, act, edit, write both the story and lyrics and even compose the music for his films. Like his father, who believed in one-man shows, Silambarasan also has dabbled in many aspects of filmmaking other than acting, in his film titled Manmadan..

Thus, the thirty-something Mandira Bedi agreed to act as a psychiatrist opposite Silambarasan, who is only in his early twenties. Jyothika is the leading lady in the film. The film is directed by A.J.Murugan. The music of Manmadan is by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has had a good run in the recent months. A few days ago, the music album was released by none other than Mandira Bedi herself in Chennai. Well-known directors Dharani, Cheran and Ramana spoke on the occasion. It was not Silambarsan but his father T. Rajendran who posed with Mandira Bedi with the album. To justify the title of the film, Manmadan (the god of love), Silambarasan has Yana Gupta, along with 12 ‘hot girls’ from Mumbai, doing an ‘item number’ in it.
