Acclaimed actor R Madhavan has addressed the ongoing social media criticism and claims labelling his film Dhurandhar and his directorial debut Rocketry: The Nambi Effect as propaganda pieces. During a candid interview, the veteran performer pushed back against those accusing his projects of pushing a pro-government agenda or being overly nationalistic, expressing confusion over why expressing pride in one’s country or portraying authentic Indian identity should be viewed negatively. He questioned what it truly means to be termed overly Indian and firmly stated that he fails to understand how being an Indian or celebrating national pride can ever be considered wrong.
Elaborating on the controversy surrounding Dhurandhar, Madhavan clarified that the narrative is set against the backdrop of Pakistan and depicts dynamic events and real-world complexities that directly impact India, making it an authentic cinematic narrative rather than a political statement. He emphasized that his approach to cinema centers on honesty and character authenticity rather than political motives. Drawing a comparison with his directorial venture Rocketry, he explained that showing scientist Nambi Narayanan visiting temples was simply faithful to the person’s real-life faith, just as depicting an atheist figure accurately requires respecting their true beliefs. He reiterated that an actor’s job is to portray truth and that highlighting positive aspects of India should never be misconstrued as a crime.
Madhavan also reflected on his upbringing and personal values, sharing that he was raised to believe that one’s country comes first and that every citizen carries a responsibility to contribute positively to the nation. He noted that throughout his public career, he has maintained a balanced and respectful perspective toward all political figures, choosing to applaud beneficial public initiatives regardless of political affiliation. Denying any personal political ambitions or affiliations, the actor confirmed that no political party has ever approached him for endorsements, emphasizing that his primary focus remains dedicated to his artistic craft and telling compelling stories on the silver screen.
