A good news for Madhavan fans. The chocolate-boy of Kollywood who has established his presence in Bollywood too, is all set to appear in mobile phones.

Maddy, currently acting in Manirathinam's Guru and a bi-lingual Aarya, recently signed a worldwide contract with Paradox, a Mumbai- based game development company, to create six mobile games titles bearing the actor's name and character.

During the launch, Madhavan said he always loved playing video games. The fact that he is now a character in one such game gives him a lot of excitement. 'This is a 'virgin' idea and through this, I think I have realized my childhood fantasy', the actor said.

Madhavan's MIG, the first game in the series, is based on his role as a pilot in the movie, Rang De Basanti, in which he flew an MIG 29 aircraft.

Being a part of the National Cadet Corps in his early years, Madhavan said he was able to identify with the character of the game quite easily.
