Uniform Code

Uniform Code

Call it coincidence or Madhavan’s fascination to essay roles in uniform,in his upcoming film ‘Sikandar’,the actor will be buttoning up in olive green yet again. Madhavan played a Naval officer very early in his career in a TV serial ‘Sea Hawk’ followed by an Air Force officer in ‘Rang De Basanti’ and this time around,it’s an Army Officer in ‘Sikandar’. “It’s quite uncanny how I have played so many roles in the uniform! It must be because when I was young I wanted to grow up to become an Air Force Officer,but didn’t qualify because of my age. So now I end up fulfilling my wish in the films that I act in,” admits Madhavan. Now,the only uniform role left for Madhavan to play on screen is that of a police officer. “Guess I’m just left to do that role Officer now and I am waiting for it because I have a lot of admiration for our police force,and I do not wish to caricaturize it.” Yes sir!
