Madhavan seems to be on a spree of unlikely jodis and we are not just talking pretty ladies here. If all goes well, then the shy and reticent actor will be seen opposite the burly Sanjay Dutt in a political thriller titled Freedom.
The film that was supposed to happen a few years ago was pushed in the backburner for reasons unknown. Now, however, the makers are willing to revive the project. A well-placed source says, “The film is definitely happening now and an official announcement will be made soon. The good thing is that the subject is still topical even after a delay of two years. The story begins in the ‘70s and moves onto modern times. Thankfully the subject has still not be explored, so the script will retain its freshness and originality.”
There’s still some doubt lingering over Sanjay’s presence in the film. “While Maddy is still on board, Sanju’s involvement is still a little tentative.” The producers for the film have also changed now, so now it is upto director Vivek Agnihotri to take a call. “Since it’s a large scale biopic, I will definitely require more stars besides Madhavan. I have spoken to some people but I am yet to finalise the cast.”
If at all Sanju baba steps in along with Maddy, it will be interesting to see the onscreen tussle between polar opposites.
