Don't see myself as a romantic hero: R Madhavan; Opens up about loneliness, ‘Chocolate Boy' tag
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) His latest outing, "Aap Jaisa Koi", marks R Madhavan's return to a love story, a space where he has found considerable success, but the actor says he does not see himself as "romantic hero now" and is only interested in portraying characters that resonate with his age. In his nearly three-decade career, the actor has been a part of quintessential romantic films like "Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein", "Tanu Weds Manu", and "Alai Payuthey", which was later remade in Bollywood as "Saathiya". "If it doesn't look age appropriate..." "I've done very few films, so I don't know how that image (of a romantic hero) has stuck for so long. I'm 55 right now, so romancing is like a big danger for me. If it doesn't look age appropriate, like if we don't look like a couple, then it doesn't look good...," the actor told PTI in an interview. "Unless it's extremely age-appropriate, I don't see myself as a romantic hero now. I'm a great actor in terms of drama and the characters that I portray. I don't think I'll be able to entertain people with my ability to show romance," he said. Madhavan said he sometimes feels constrained by his "chocolate boy" image, but he is happy that it hasn't hindered his ability to take on dramatic roles. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo I've again become a chocolate boy "I can pretend sometimes that I'm tired of it because it gets in the way of me playing serious roles. I thought it would, but it didn't. When I was playing 'Shaitaan', they accepted it.
