MUMBAI: Actor R. Madhavan, who was recently seen in the romantic comedy “Aap Jaisa Koi, ” reflected on how opportunities to star in romantic films have become fewer with time.
The actor, who plays a 42-year-old Sanskrit teacher in the Netflix film, shared what intrigued him about “Aap Jaisa Koi.” Madhavan stated, “I didn’t choose this to go back to romance. I chose it because it was an interesting story, age appropriate, and topical. There are only a few chances left to star in a love story — and fewer that feel this honest.”
Talking about working with Fatima Sana Shaikh in the movie, the ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’ actor shared, “She’s a dynamic, younger actor — and I had to make sure the pairing looked palatable. But she’s also incredibly charming, and I have a lot of affection and respect for her. It was honestly too short a shoot!” Fatima, for her part, calls Madhavan “emotionally intelligent and sharp, ” saying, “I learned something from him every day on set.”
