South superstar R Madhavan, is quite
excited about his Amazon Prime show
Breathe, going live on Republic Day.
"I have been told not to use the word web
series, but rather digital, says the actor.
On the series, Madhavan explains,
"Breathe is a gritty psychological drama
that follows the lives of ordinary people
faced with extraordinary circumstances.
Kabir Sawant (Amit Sadh), a brilliant but
unconventional officer of the Mumbai
Crime Branch, puts together the pieces of
seemingly unconnected deaths of organ
donors, which lead to an unlikely suspect
the affable Danny Mascarenhas (my
character). As Danny faces the difficult
choice between morality and the slim
possibility of saving his dying son's life,
Kabir will not stop, until he cracks the case
and delivers justice.
"It is not just me; all fathers who watch
the show will definitely relate to Danny
Mascarenhas. In Breathe, with Danny's
character, we take a closer look at the
lengths a father can go to, to save his
child. It has been one of the most
challenging roles I have played in my
career, he states.
When asked about the new format, he
says, "This is one more platform for
creative expression. Today, only good
content sells. The current bad situation in
films is something similar to a time
around 5 years back, when many films
failed, for they were not really up to the
mark.
"One thing I really like about this format is
that for once I will not be bothered about
the Friday fear. If your film does not do
well in the first weekend, it is history.
Interestingly, Madhavan, who has been
around for 20 years, is not confident of
himself even now. "I often wonder if unit
guys are laughing at my work.
When asked if he had taken tips or shared
notes with Mr. Anil Kapoor or Amitabh
Bachchan, who have also done limited
series like 24 and Yudh, he says, "I don't
consider myself in their league, to band
around with them.
As the narrative revolves around organ
transplant, Madhavan, who has already
pledged to donate his organs years back,
says, "Hope this helps to create awareness
about how a single man can change or
save the lives of five others. There is also
an attempt to dispel rumours that if an
organ is donated, it stops the heaven
onward journey of the departed soul.
Does he feel that, had he stayed in the
South rather than moving to Bollywood,
he might have become a much bigger
name, like Rajnikanth and Kamal Hassan?
"My biggest achievement is that after 20
years in the industry, I have won lots of
love and respect, which is good enough.
Madhavan, who is working on a biopic
next, did not bite on the question of
above fellow actors moving to Tamil Nadu
politics. "It is very good if you enter public
life for the good of the state. I am happy
as an actor, and have no political
ambitions. I do my bit towards society, in
my own way.
May you continue to have a blessed
journey as actor, Madhavan!!
