R. Madhavan is set to make a return in the romance genre with Netflix’s Aap Jaisa Koi. He plays a reserved Sanskrit teacher from a conservative background. His life takes a turn when he meets a free-spirited French instructor named Madhu (played by Fatima Sana Shaikh). From rom-coms like Tanu Weds Manu to action romances like Run, Madhavan has proved his acting mettle with a creative filmography. Ahead of Aap Jaisa Koi’s release on July 11, let’s explore R. Madhavan’s other popular films and reflect on his impressive craft.

This is the second installment of the Tanu Weds Manu film series. He reprises his role as Manu alongside Kangana Ranaut. The latter plays a dual role in this superhit rom-com sequel. The story follows Tanu and Manu facing troubles in their marriage as the duo decides to part ways. However, fate intervenes when Manu develops feelings for the Haryanvi woman who resembles his estranged wife.
A blend of action and romance, this gripping film features Madhavan opposite Meera Jasmine, who marked her Tamil debut. The plot follows a young man who encounters a woman on his journey to pursue higher education and falls in love with her. However, his world turns upside down when he discovers that she is the sister of a gangster.

This one remains R. Madhavan’s iconic romance film that became a cult classic for its well-crafted narrative and stunning performances. Featuring the trio of Madhavan, Dia Mirza, and Saif Ali Khan, the story revolves around Maddy, who unwittingly falls in love at first sight with Reena, who is the fiancée of his former college rival Sam. From a love triangle to rivalry and jealousy, this one has it all. The movie, also known by its acronym of RHTDM, offers some chartbuster songs as well.

This sports action film features Madhavan as a hotheaded boxer named Adi Tomar. Ritika Singh marked her film debut as she plays an amateur boxer who is trained by a former boxer (Madhavan), hellbent on proving his worth. The movie also sheds light on deep-rooted corruption and political agendas in various sports organisations. The Tamil version is titled Irudhi Suttru.

The Tamil film Anbe Sivam was dubbed into Telugu as Sathyame Sivam. It features the talented duo of Kamal Haasan and R. Madhavan. The story revolves around two polar opposites who are stranded at an airport. Their fates are intertwined by an unlikely bond after they embark on an unexpected journey together.
