Actor R Madhavan who was last seen in ‘Dhurandhar’. The Revenge’, is now promoting his upcoming film ‘GDN’. During promotions, the actor expressed concern that young viewers, including his 20-year-old son Vedaant’s generation, are increasingly disconnected from Indian cinema and are showing more interest in Japanese anime and Korean content.Madhavan said that the Indian film industry is not losing its audience to another film industry but to a different story scene. “I have a fear that I don’t want to think about. Sure, until now, I have earned his respect. Now he is 20 years old. But if you look at my younger generation, they are completely disconnected from him,” said Madhavan, referring to himself in the third person. “This is a big problem. They watch Japanese anime, they watch Korean content. But they don’t want to watch our Tamil movies. They don’t go to the theater to watch Hindi movies or Indian movies,” he said in an interview with Cinema Express. The actor admitted that he could have easily continued doing conventional commercial films, which he believes would guarantee a certain level of success. However, she says she wants to explore roles that allow her to showcase the depth of her skills.“I believe that if I do a commercial film, there will definitely be at least one hit. Just having that formula is enough to keep us going for years,” he said.Explaining his choice to take up more challenging projects, Madhavan added, “With all the experiences I have had in my life, we could never fit them into a film. That’s what acting is all about. Then, when that kind of opportunity finally came, I decided that doing an average commercial film was not something I could do.Madhavan also said that the responsibility of making meaningful and inspiring cinema rests with the filmmakers and performers themselves. “What is happening in Tamil Nadu is happening all over the world. How empowered are our people? How knowledgeable are they? But more than that, how inspirational are we when we come forward? A storyteller, a director, or an actor, how inspirational are we?” he said.His upcoming film ‘GDN’ tells the story of Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu, the self-made inventor and industrialist from Coimbatore who is often called the Edison of India. Despite having no formal engineering education, Naidu developed India’s first electric motor and attempted to create a car comparable to a Mercedes in pre-independence Tamil Nadu.
