Mumbai: The whopping Box Office success of ‘3 Idiots’ has become a boon of sorts for lesser known B-town stars like Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan. An out-and-out Aamir Khan film, it seems Madhavan was happy learning from Mr Perfectionist for the actor feels that the former stole all the thunder while spearheading the promotions for the film.Talking to a news daily, the dimpled actor said, “Aamir was the captain of the ship. I have no idea about publicity and marketing like he does. I was happy learning from him.” Yet, despite all the controversies surrounding ‘3 Idiots’ – be it the film’s hilariously outrageous ragging scenes or the uproar over crediting ‘Five Point Someone’ writer Chetan Bhagat, the actor does not want to get into the controversies as he said, “It doesn’t concern me and I shouldn’t talk about it.” Instead, Madhavan is upbeat about his upcoming project ‘Teen Patti’, where he will be sharing screen space with none other than Amitabh Bachchan. Talking about his cinematic journey, Madhavan said, “I’ve come a long way. It started out with Mani Ratnam, then I worked with Kamal Haasan and now Amitabh. I feel I’m going in the right direction.” The actor was all praise for Leena Yadav, the director of ‘Teen Patti’, as he said, “Leena is extremely competent and held everyone, including the newcomers, together.” A thriller revolving around gambling, in ‘Teen Patti’, Madhavan will be seen in six avatars. In ‘Teen Patti’, Madhavan shares some intimate scenes with Saira Mohan. When enquired whether he shares a passionate kiss with the actress like he did with Vidya Balan in ‘Guru’, he said, “I’m not giving anything regarding this aspect of the film away.”
