/> Madhavan seems to be stuck on trains. "In my first Tamil film Alai Pyuthe I was commuting in local trains while wooing my co-star. Recently for Nishikant Kamath's

Yenavu Oruvan ( Tamil remake of Domibivili Fast ) my character spent all his time traveling by train. Now I'm working on a third film where the local trains play an energetic part."

Madhavan plays one of the leads in Nishikant Kamat's first Hindi film Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan.

Says Madhavan, "After Rang De Basanti I had to be very careful about what I did in Hindi. No matter what, it had to be something that addressed itself to the nation's conscience. Nishikant's Mumbai Meri Jaan was just what I needed.

Not that I won't be doing fun films. Sure I will. But Mumbai Meri Jaan hits you where it hurts. It's based on the July 2006 train bombings in Mumbai. Paresh Rawail, K.K Menon, Irrfan Khan, Soha and I play different people grappling with various issues after the terrible explosions in Mumbai."

Kamath's film will be the third film within a year to go into the 2006 Mumbai explosions. Neeraj Pandey's Wednesday and Joy Augustine's Little Godfather are the other two forthcoming projects that look at the tragedy from differing perceptions.

Smiles Maddy. "It's good to see Hindi cinema moving towards the headlines. If I come to Mumbai to do a Hindi film I'd like to go into projects that challenge me as an artiste and thinking individual. I've worked with Soha in Rang De Basanti. But never with Paresh, Irrfan and KK."
