Madhavan who is 55 years old, said "When you are doing movies, you realise that you have to be careful in the choice of heroines, because even though they still want to work with you, it looks like the actor is having fun on the pretext of the movie."

He continued "People feel ye picture ke bahaane aish kar raha hai (People feel he is having fun while using films as an excuse). If that is the overwhelming feeling coming out of a movie, then wo character ke liye respect nahi rehta hai,"

He added "There is also the realisation that my body strength is not such that I can do things like a 22-year-old. It's essential for me to realise that age appropriateness and the kind of people I'm working with, are aligned so that it doesn't look sleazy."&nbsp;
