R Madhavan on reuniting with Anushka Shetty after 14 years
Speaking about their reunion, Madhavan, in an interview with Pinkvilla, said that he hardly repeats heroines and Anushka Shetty is amongst the few of them. He mentioned that he always looks forward to working with Anushka. He said that there are very few actors he has repeated films with, especially heroines. Hence, Anushka happens to be in a unique category.
When he first did a movie with her named Rendu, she had just joined the entertainment industry and was a yoga expert. Madhavan added that Anushka was 'full of life -- tall, beautiful -- and graceful actor'. They both were young, and Madhavan was doing his 5th or 6th film in Tamil, while Anushka was about to make her debut Telugu.
Talking about his upcoming venture with Anushka, the actor said that even after 14 years, he spoke about the opportunity of getting to do a film with the same heroine who has come a long way in her life and achieved so much. Anushka Shetty is a massive star in the Telugu film industry. He revealed that after Baahubali, he wanted to do a film with her, and eventually he got a chance. He also said that more than anything, they have mutual respect when they first met each other.
Madhavan also said that he was amazed by how much responsibility she was taking for the upcoming movie. He mentioned that he was impressed by the amount of dedication and involvement she has for the film. He further said that Anushka was shooting for a lot longer than he did and she did complete the responsibility brilliantly.
