Gautam Vasudev Menon reveals he hates R Madhavan for asking him to narrate 'Minnale' script to Mani Ratman

Gautam Vasudev Menon, who once revealed that he learned the craft of filmmaking solely by watching the movies of legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam, has now shared an awkward incident involving his idol and actor R. Madhavan.
On June 2, Mani Ratnam celebrated his 68th birthday, and O2india shared a special video dedicated to the filmmaker in which GVM said that he hates R.Madhavan. Madhavan once forced him to narrate the script of his debut film ‘Minnale’ to Mani Ratnam. Madhavan said that if Mani approves the project, then it will be a great start.

GVM says that he hated Madhavan for that, for making him go through what he thought was going to be an ordeal. As an admirer of Mani Ratnam, he believes that he cannot narrate his story to him. So he botched up the narration. But somehow the film happened.
In a previous interview, Gautam Vasudev Menon mentioned that Mani Ratnam was not impressed by the ‘Minnale’ script. However, Madhavan agreed to do the film with him as he felt bad due to the incident. The film, which also featured Abbas and Reema Sen in key roles, was released in 2001.
It had a remake in Hindi, ‘Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein,’ where Madhavan reprised his role, while Dia Mirza shared the screen with him.
