Madhavan's role in the movie Three Idiots

Madhavan has donned the role of an IIT student in the Hindi film Three Idiots. While speaking about this, he said,” In Three Idiots I am acting with Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi.

I and Amir have crossed 40s. People are asking how is it that I am acting in the role of an IIT student. The shooting of the film took place in IIT, Bangalore. We all stayed in the hostel and acted in this film. When we reached there our minds became like students.

It was a nostalgic thing. So we got the younger day energy in us. I became slim with diet control and work outs. People who saw the trailer said that Amir and I looked liked students. During the shooting of this film my leg was injured. I have to act with bandage in my leg.

So Amir Khan requested director Raj Kumar Hirani not to give me the scenes that would strain my legs. During the shooting Amir, Sharman and I became very close friends.”
