Maddy: “I replaced Shah Rukh in RDB”
April 20, 2006
 
Madhavan

Madhavan must really think it is crazy how a decision taken purely out of constraints of time would bring in such raving results. Did you know that Maddy was the first choice of the director for the role of the pampered and confused industrialist scion, Karan Singhania and Shahrukh Khan for the role of the Flight Lieutenant, Ajay Rathod in RDB? Maddy opted out of Karan’s role basically because his Tamil film, Thambi was shaping up simultaneously and required about 7 months time. So, he chose the smaller role of Ajay. How the fortunes have smiled on him and he has become the darling of the masses although he appears only for 20 minutes.

Madhavan talks excitedly about his change of roles and says, “See, I replaced SRK and walked off with the honours. I am sure, Siddharth who played Karan was better suited and I could not have pulled it off that well. The film’s strength is about characters and any mismatch would have spelt doom. RDB has become the defining film in our recent history and at a recent screening at IIT, Madras the response was simply overwhelming. I am sure the youth of this country have some bright ideas to shake up the system. If RDB is a small step towards awakening their potential, we have all succeeded in our pursuit”.
