Madhavan makes a comeback to Hindi films

The Times of India: "Bawarchi , is partly set in Bihar and Nasik has the same dusty look as rural Bihar. I play a cook from Bihar who migrates to London and makes a name for himself. In the original film I was a Tamil cook. I'd have loved to shoot in Bihar because I'm from Jamshedpur (now part of Jharkhand state). In fact that's one reason why I transposed the character to Bihar. This is my tribute to my roots.

Bawarchi will be my third Hindi film after Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein and Dil Vil Pyar Vyar . In between there were many offers from distinguished directors like Shyam Benegal and Ashutosh Gowariker, though nothing materialised. Abhishek Bachchan plays my role in Yuva , the Hindi version of Ayuzu Ezhathu . He also plays my role in Run . I also like him immensely as a person. I think Abhishek is a volcano ready to erupt.

It's almost like Saif Ali Khan whose real charm took time to be translated to the screen. Abhishek's real personality needs to come across effectively on screen. Then there's no stopping him. "
