A
big
excitement
awaits
Madhavan.
"I'm
finally
going
to
work
with
Mr.
Bachchan.
It
has
been
a
long-cherished
dream.
When
he
did
a
guest
appearance
with
me
in
Ramji
Londonwale
I
couldn't
stand
straight,
I
was
so
nervous
and
excited.
Now
we're
finally
coming
together
in
Leena
Yadav's
Teen
Patti.
And
all
thanks
to
Arshad
Warsi," jokes
Maddy
about
Arshad's
unceremonious
exit
from
the
project.
Maddy
will
have
to
learn
to
play
cards
for
his
gambler's
role.
"I've
never
played
cards
before.
So
I'll
have
to
start
from
scratch.
At
the
moment,
I've
plenty
of
time
to
learn
stationary
skills.
I've
just
had
a
painful
molar
extraction
done.
I
can't
go
out
and
can't
talk
much
either.
In
fact
I'm
surprised
the
producers
of
Teen
Patti
signed
me
with
this
swollen
face."
Maddy
goes
into
Teen
Patti
at
year-end.
Right
now,
he
starts
work
on
the
Tamil
version
of
Aziz
Mirza's
Yes
Boss
where
he
steps
into
Shahrukh
Khan's
shoes.
"Nishikant
Kamat
who
directed
me
in
the
Tamil
version
of
Dombivali
Fast
and
in
Mumbai
Meri
Jaan
put
me
in
touch
with
the
working-class
side
of
my
personality.
Now
I
need
to
get
back
to
playing
super-heroic
parts.
Otherwise
my
audience
in
Tamil
Nadu
will
think
I've
mellowed
down
incurably."
