"I'm attracted to Kangana"


There were rumors that Madhavan & Kangna have a fight, cause she was trying to grab the limelight for the film’s promotion, but it’s not true. And you can’t say you’re attracted to a person & you’re fond of her, if you had such a huge fight.

"I am very fond of Kangana and attracted to her. I feel she is an extremely competent actor, very professional and she has actively contributed to the role for the first time," Madhavan said.

"As an actor, I have never worked with a heroine who does that. They (other heroines) are happy doing what the script demands from them but Kangana is the one who was pushing the envelope. I hope I can do another film with Kangana, I really enjoyed working with her," he said.

Moreover, Kangna was not hogging the limelight for the film's promotion.

"Unfortunately, it's wrong news," he said. "Kangana is shooting in Bangkok, so she did her character's (Tanu) promotion earlier," he said.

"There is absolutely no reason to be upset with her and I am really missing her."

Tanu Weds Manu is all set to hit the theatres on 25th Feb.

"I don't know why this romantic tag stuck with me for so long. They (directors) want it, so I give them that. I am not going to fight it. This is a different kind of romantic story. It's not a cliche 'hold my hand and get into a fight' later on kind of story. It's very real and I don't remember if I have seen such a romantic film ever," said Madhavan, who plays the role of Manu in the film.

About the film, Madhavan said: "Manu is brought up in a small town in a middle class family, very happy with whatever his parents have in mind for him, no rebellious quality unnecessarily. He goes to London, spends eight to nine years and comes back with his tradition intact, like most Indian guys from small towns do.

"What happens is you forget that in the span of time of your staying abroad, your town has changed-McDonalds, MTV, all have come in and people are having flings for the sake of it and suddenly there is a complete mismatch in the opposite direction.

"You are an Indian, she is westernized, you are a conformist, she is rebellious and there is a mismatch. But love has its own course."

Madhavan wants to do different kinds of roles. Although Tanu Weds Maun is comical, but it has no comedy as such. He has done hard-core comedy films in Tamil & he wants to do hard-core comedy in Hindi cinema as well. He has signed 2 more Hindi movies lately.

Guys, do you remember days when Madhavan was hero & Saif played a very small role? I guess the name of the movie was Rehna hai is dil mein or something like that. In fact there was another movie Biwi # 1 in which Saif also played a very small role. Why do people forget their good old days when people didn’t notice them?
