Madhavan has become an integral part of Manirathinam team. Post Alaipayuthey, all Manirathinam's movies featured Madhavan in a lead role.
When Mani commenced his Hindi venture Guru starring Abhishek Bachchan, it brought surprise to many.
The star cast for Guru include Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
He was planning to cast either Vivek Oberoi or John Araham for the role of a second hero. However both reportedly declined the offer due to different reasons. As it happened, Mani has now turned to his favorite.
Madhavan has been asked to play the all important role in Guru.
Madhavan is quite excited to be cast in a Manirathnam film again, and has no problems about playing second hero.
