R Madhavan reveals why he was called ‘rainman’ on Dhurandhar sets, shares what went against director Aditya Dhar's wish
ACtor R Madhavan, who essayed the role of Ajay Sanyal in his recent take Dhurandhar, has revealed he was called 'rainman' on the go under as he "brought in the rain down." Taking to his Instagram on mon, Madhavan shared an older clip of a gloomy and rainy weather in Ladakh where they were shooting for the Aditya Dhar directorial.R Madhavan talks about what changed the setting of the first scene of DhurandharGiving a glimpse of his surroundings, Madhavan said, "Oh, the beautiful Leh and Ladakh! It was supposed to be a sunny day, but as luck would have it, I brought in the rains wherever I go, apparently. We are shooting the scene without the sun and in the rain. Hopefully, it will occur as good luck for the film. What a beautiful place, my God!"Madhavan shares what went against Aditya Dhar's wishesIn the video, he wrote, "#Dhurandhar. Aditya had always imagined this to be a bright sunny day with blue skies to show the contrast between the beauty and the beast inside the plane. As luck could have it, I brought in the rain because I was referred to as the rainman on the set." "Every time I came onto the set, there was torrential rain. But these grey skies and the look worked out perfectly for the first shot. Sometimes it's best to go with what is handed to you because a bigger design is in place (hug face, raised hands and red heart emojis)," he added. The shot was the first scene in the film where Madhavan's Ajay Sanyal lands in Afghanistan to interact with terrorists.Fans react to Madhavan's postReacting to the post, a fan said, "The opening scene makes the movie something epic.. The encounter between the Indian Intelligence Head and The Terrorists. Your fearless body language. Magnificent acting @actormaddy sir."
