While audience has always showered Maddy with love, critics have also spoken about how Maddy is the most dependable actor. Trade analyst Joginder Tuteja, while speaking about Maddy’s illustrious career, dished the reason behind why the actor is the man with the Midas touch. “It’s actually amazing to see how Madhavan has been really taking his career forward. In his career, he has never ever stuck to one image, and that’s the best part. Be it ‘Saala Khadoos’, ‘Rang De Basanti’, ‘3 Idiots’ or his recent release ‘Shaitaan’, Maddy is someone who has not been fixated with a genre or with the industry or with the medium. And that’s the reason why he has been successful all this while. He has been very integral to the industry. He’s a complete actor, director and producer, and someone who is creatively involved. It is actors like him, who are also stars, who go on to have a really long career. So, while we are talking about him right now, I am very sure that we will be talking about him even after 30 years from now,” he said.
