Film Career
Madhavan was a popular face in Indian television even before he made his maiden film debut. He acted in Hindi television serials like Saaya, Sea Hawks, Banegi Apni Baat, and Ghar Jamai in minor and brief roles. His debut in movies came in the form of Shanti Shanti Shanti, a Kannada movie also starring Abbas and Prakash Raj. The film performed well at the Kannada box-office but when it was dubbed it lowered Madhavan's status in the tamil film industry after Alaipayuthey.
In 1997, Madhavan had auditioned for a part in the critically-acclaimed movie, Iruvar starring Mohanlal and Aishwarya Rai and directed by Mani Ratnam. Mani Ratnam was pleased with Madhavan's capabilities but wanted a senior actor to play Madhavan's part, so Mani Ratnam confirmed Madhavan could be a part of his next project as a sorry plea. He got his first big break when Mani Ratnam introduced Madhavan to Tamil Cinema through the film Alaipayuthey produced by Madras Talkies, a tale of the relationships after marriage, he starred in the blockbuster with Shalini.His next highly-anticipated second film, Ennavale starring Sneha and dwelling on the subject of diasability flopped but Gautham Menon's debut venture, Minnale made Madhavan in level with the other major actors in Kollywood.
Minnale explored the views of college enemies vying for a love after a decade without contact. The music also was a hit rendered by debutant, Harris Jayaraj. Gautham Menon and Madhavan then remade this in Bollywood as Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein with Dia Mirza and Saif Ali Khan. The film flopped at the box-office but raised business for his co-stars. Madras Talkies's hit production Dumm Dumm Dumm with Jyothika was then followed by veteran director K. Balachandar's 100th film, Parthale Paravasam with Simran Bagga.
Run was a landmark film for Madhavan as it won him Filmfare Best Actor Award South in the Filmfare Awards South cermony.Mani Ratnam chose Madhavan again with Simran Bagga in the critically acclaimed blockbuster, Kannathil Muthamittal, which explored the views of an adopted child affected in war-torn Sri Lanka. 
He then had a second attempt at Bollywood with the multi-starrer, Dil Vil Pyar Vyar but once again his Hindi film flopped. Anbe Sivam with Kamal Haasan did steady business at the box-office. But his following films such as Priyamana Thozhi,Jay Jay and Aethiree flopped at the box-office demoting Madhavan to a second grade hero below the standards of Ajith Kumar andVijay.
Madhavan has since come back with successful projects such as in Aayitha Ezhuthu, also directed by Mani Ratnam, he played a negative role as a fighter for a politician
and has continued his success at the box-office with hits such as Priyasakhi, a family orientated film with Sadha and Thambi as a Mahatma Gandhi-Subash Chandra Bose figure who stops violence.
He has boosted his chances in Bollywood with the role of Ajay Rathod in the blockbuster, Rang de Basanti. His next project looks set to be Mani Ratnam's Guru and Sundar C's Rendu. He was also a part of Mani Ratnam's stage show, Netru, Indru, Naalai alongside many other co-stars. He recently hosted the third season of Deal Ya No Deal on Doodarshan TV.
