Except for Aayutha Ezhuthu that came out in 2004, most of Madhavan’s looks reminds one of the boyish charm, which he used in films with abundance.
Interestingly, it was not until the actor shared a shower selfie on Instagram did people see the Greek God in him. This post went viral online with women from across the world praising Maddy for maintaining his looks.
The actor then went further and wore the salt and pepper look in the web series Breathe, in which he played a desperate father seeking an organ donor to save his dying son.
And now, he is set to play an astronaut in Chanda Mama Door Ke and we cannot wait for him to reveal his look in the film.
It is not only his looks that have transformed, but the actor has become a powerful performer as seen in his last Tamil film Vikram Vedha, which received rave reviews from critics and audience alike.
