Mumbai, May 30 (IANS) Multilingual actor R. Madhavan is on a roll after the success of his thriller “13 B”. He now has his hands full with major projects.
The actor, who came to prominence in Bollywood with “Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein”, is on a high after working with his idol Amitabh Bachchan in “Teen Patti” as well as with Aamir Khan in “Three Idiots”.
“With legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Sir Ben Kingsley (in ‘Teen Patti’), it can’t get bigger and better. I am so eagerly looking forward to the release of both ‘Three Idiots’ and ‘Teen Patti’,” Madhavan said in a statement.
While “Three Idiots” and “Teen Patti” would release by the end of 2009, Madhavan has signed two more films - Anand Raj’s “Tanu Weds Manu” and a yet-to-be-titled project being directed by Navdeep Singh of “Manorama Six Feet Under” fame.
