Tanu Weds Manu director Anand Rai signed Madhavan even before he had a producer in place for his project.

Rai felt that Maddy was perfect for the role. And it was the actor who suggested Kangna Ranaut as his co-star.

In fact, Maddy didn't sign any other movie till he completed Tanu Weds Manu and even took a fee cut as he loved the script! Well, well...
