R Madhavan has done notable work in the Hindi as well as Tamil cinema industry for over 20 years. The recipient of multiple prestigious awards, he has won hearts with his craft. However, the actor believes that his best is yet to come. Talking to an entertainment portal, Madhavan, however, admitted that there are moments when he believes that his work has left an impact on people’s lives.
"If anything, I feel very inadequate right now. I don’t think I’ve ever reached that stage at all. Those sort of realisations happen when I meet a big star or a politician or a leader, who embraces me and means what he says when he says that he really likes my work. Or I meet people from different generations in the same family, who say they are a part of the products that I create. Maybe that time I feel like I’m on the right path. But if anything, I still feel very strongly that my best is yet to come. I don’t know if that is a safety mechanism or if that is a fact," Madhavan told.
The actor added that he is still hungry to achieve more. "I think, also, I was never financially super settled at any given point of time, and never allowed myself to be there. That hunger to create what is called a ‘star life’ has always kept me wanting more. But I have realised I can never live like a star. I’m a terrible star. I don’t wear designer clothes, I can’t afford to have people around me all the time. I also realised the way you walk at the airport decides how many people mob you and how many people leave you alone. I’m very, very hungry. I don’t think I can ever reach a stage where I can say I’ve made it," he shared.
Madhavan has directed and acted in the biopic of aeronautical engineer Nambi Narayanan titled Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. He will be seen in Netflix's Decoupled which will release on December 17, 2021.
