It's an exciting phase for Bollywood actor R Madhavan. His first movie as a director is all set for its theatrical release.?Wearing a director's hat has come with its challenges for Madhavan.?
In a conversation with Anupama Chopra, Madhavan said,
"I have a son. There was COVID. I didn＊t make any money during COVID. I didn＊t make any money for two years before COVID because I was doing this film. The things that kept me alive were the one-off chances I took on OTT to keep the fires burning, but apart from that, I haven＊t done any films. My last film was Vikram Vedha, so there＊s fear. There＊s a constant fear."
Talking about his wife Sarita, he expressed gratitude for her "outstanding support."She told him that he was happy despite being exhausted.
