Maddy’s magnetism for ‘Sikandar’

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,August 13 2009]

Call it coincidence or Madhavan’s fascination to essay roles in uniform, but Madhavan’s upcoming film ‘Sikandar’ will actually be the third time he’s essaying a role in a uniform.

Madhavan played a Navy officer very early in his career in a TV serial ‘Sea Hawk’. He then played an Air Force officer in ‘Rang De Basanti’ and this time around he is playing an Army Officer in ‘Sikandar’.

“Yes it uncanny how I have played so many roles in the uniform. It must be because when I was young I wanted to grow up to become an Air Force Officer, but didn’t qualify because of my age. So now I end up fulfilling my wish in the films that I act in,” admits Madhavan.

Now, the only uniform role left for Madhavan to play on screen is that of a Police officer. “Yes, I guess I am just left to do a role of a Police Officer now and I am waiting for the right role, because I have a lot of admiration for our Police Officers and I do not want to caricaturize it.”, says Maddy.
