The new Telugu release “Savyasachi” has surprised Andhra Pradesh and Telangana’s audiences with the strong presence of Tamil cinemas iconic actor R Madhavan.
Madhavan has so far done only Tamil and Hindi film so what prompted him to do a Telugu film and that too in a negative role?
“The role, what else? It was a fabulous role. Though my character enters the picture mid-way, my introduction into the plot had me hooked. And the enthusiasm that I felt in Andhra Pradesh when I went there to finalise the Telugu version of my biopic on the space scientist Nambi Naraynan, clinched the matter. I was told I had no idea about my fan-following in Andhra. Now I do,” laughs Madhavan.
