Madhavan has received two Filmfare Awards, an award from the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards alongside recognition and nominations from other organisations. He has been described as one of the few actors in India who is able to achieve pan-Indian appeal, appearing in films from seven different languages. Madhavan began his acting career with television guest appearances, including a role on the Zee TV prime-time soap opera ''Banegi Apni Baat'' in 1996. After appearing in commercials and in small roles, he later gained recognition in the Tamil film industry through Mani Ratnam's successful romantic film ''Alaipayuthey'' (2000). Madhavan soon developed an image as a romantic hero with notable roles in two of 2001's biggest grossers, Gautham Menon's directorial debut ''Minnale'' and Madras Talkies' ''Dumm Dumm Dumm''. He worked with Ratnam again in the critically acclaimed 2002 film ''Kannathil Muthamittal'' playing the father of an adopted girl, whilst he enjoyed commercial success with his role in Linguswamy's action film, ''Run'' (2002). He was cast opposite Kamal Haasan in the 2003 drama ''Anbe Sivam'', which earned him two notable awards for supporting actor. In 2004 he gave a critically acclaimed performance in the multi-starrer drama ''Aayutha Ezhuthu'' and the film secured him his first Filmfare Award for the intense portrayal of a rogue. In the mid-2000s Madhavan also pursued a career in Hindi films, writing the dialogues for the comedy ''Ramji Londonwaley'', before appearing in supporting roles in two big-budget productions, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's ''Rang De Basanti'' and Mani Ratnam's biopic ''Guru''. He then won acclaim for his portrayal of angry man in his home production in 2007, ''Evano Oruvan'', whilst two years later he appeared in the successful bilingual horror film ''Yavarum Nalam''. He also played a critically acclaimed role in the 2009 blockbuster by Rajkumar Hirani, ''3 Idiots'', portraying a student with actors Aamir Khan and Sharman Joshi. Returning after a three year sabbatical in 2015, his comeback film ''Tanu Weds Manu Returns'' won critical and commercial acclaim. Madhavan has been a brand ambassador appearing in many commercials, whilst he has also played television hosts to Hindi television programmes, most notably ''Deal Ya No Deal'' in 2006. Before his breakthrough role as a romantic actor in 2000, he was married to Sarita Birje and has a young son. He has been a supporter of the PETA programme in India and has appeared in events organised for the group's promotion. ==Early life== Madhavan was born on 1 June 1970 in Jamshedpur, India, to a Tamil family. His father Ranganathan was a management executive in Tata Steel and his mother, Saroja was a manager in the Bank of India. His younger sister, Devika, is a software engineer settled in the United Kingdom. He had a Tamil-speaking upbringing in Bihar. In 1988, Madhavan gained a scholarship to represent India as a cultural ambassador from Rajaram College, Kolhapur and spent a year in Stettler, Alberta as a part of an exchange programme. He returned to Kolhapur and completed his education, graduating with a degree in electronics. During his college years, Madhavan became actively involved in extra-curricular military training and at 22, he was recognised as amongst the leading NCC Cadets in Maharashtra, allowing him to make a trip with seven others as NCC Cadets to England. As a result of this honour, he received training with the Royal Army, the Navy and the Air Force, which he had, at a point, considered joining. However he was rejected from the opportunity, as he missed the age cut-off by six months. After he lost out on the place, he began teaching courses on public speaking and personality development skills in Kolhapur and the satisfaction he gained through teaching, prompted him to pursue a post-graduation in public speaking at Kishinchand Chellaram College in Mumbai. During the period, he also won the Indian Championship for Public Speaking and subsequently represented India at the Young Businessmen Conference in Tokyo, Japan in 1992. During his stint in Mumbai, he opted to create a portfolio and submit it to a modelling agency.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「R. Madhavan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
