R Madhavan REVEALS why he refused to do 3 Idiots Tamil remake

On Wednesday (August 17), R Madhavan attended the teaser launch of his upcoming film Dhokha – Round D Corner. At the event, he spoke about the success of his film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, poor performances of Bollywood films including Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha, why he doesn’t remake of his films and a lot more.

He said, “I was asked to remake ‘3 Idiots’ in Tamil, but I didn’t do it. It is difficult for me, as an actor, to do a scene for the first time, and then to recreate it. It is impossible for me. There is comparison in remakes and the whole fun of doing a film goes away”.

Madhavan starred with Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots and Rang De Basanti. On why Laal Singh Chaddha didn’t work, the 52-year-old said, “If we knew (why ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ didn’t work), we would all be making hit films. Nobody starts off thinking that we’re making a wrong film. The intent, hard work behind it is just as intense as with every film that an actor works on or doesn’t. So, all the big films that have been released….the intent was to make a good film and make it work”.

On Rocketry’s success, Maddy said, “I think the only big difference with my film is that I was lucky that mine was a biopic so it is not time agnostic. It would have worked at any time, irrespective of whether it was pre-COVID-19 or post-COVID-19”. He added, “A film not working was nobody’s fault”.
