Madhavan’s second innings in cinema has been truly remarkable. Shedding the conventional hero image, he has been experimenting with a variety of roles suited to his age, exploring new avenues on screen. Recently, it has been reported that he even plays a fatherly role in a Pan-India film starring a top hero. If true, this move shows his willingness to embrace roles that might surprise fans, even if some viewers may struggle to adjust to seeing him in such mature characters. Yet, for Madhavan, working without boundaries as an actor is part of his philosophy.

Off-screen, Madhavan is known for leading a simple, grounded life. He credits legends like Superstar Rajinikanth and Thala Ajith as inspirations for his lifestyle. In his first-ever revelation about this, Madhavan stated that fame and image exist only on screen, and off-screen he prefers simplicity. He avoids unnecessary grooming or coloring his hair unless required for a role, choosing instead to appear naturally in public.

Madhavan emphasized that he never views anyone as competition, and he challenges only himself in his cinematic journey. Observing the humility of Rajinikanth and Ajith has reinforced his belief that screen brilliance need not translate to off-screen extravagance. He admires the straightforwardness of these stars and aims to emulate their grounded approach. Even actors like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Rajendra Prasad often maintain a distance from ostentation, appearing in public without makeup or pretense. For Madhavan, living comfortably and authentically is the ultimate priority.
