July 27, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): “It’s final and confirmed. I am unfortunately unable to do 3 Idiots in Tamil and Telugu. I am really sorry about that”, tweets Madhavan. The actor has refused Shankar’s offers of repeating his role in Tamil and Telugu remake along with Vijay, Silambarasan, and Mahesh Babu.

Previously, buzzes were that the actor wasn’t keen on repeating the roles in remakes as he felt that the originality will be lost. However, the actor’s reason for refusing this big offer is his prior commitments with other projects.

Of course, the actor has signed lots of Hindi projects that include Abbas Tyrewala’s Jhootha hee Sahi, previously titled as “1-800-Love’. The film has Bollywood’s hunk John Abraham in lead role with A. R. Rahman scoring music.

Apart from this, Maddy plays lead role of Manu in Anand Rai’s comedy entertainer Tanu weds Manu with Kangana Ranaut. His other Hindi film Sunglass is again a family entertainer that revolves around the seven-year itch between a married couple (played by Madhavan and Konkona Sen Sharma) and changes taking place in their lives with the arrival of an antique sunglass. Apart from these movies, Madhavan will make his comeback in Kollywood with Kamal Haasan starrer Manmadhan Ambu.
