In
Pune,
Madhavan
who's
shooting
for
Leena
Yadav's
Teen
Patti
was
in
for
a
huge
shock
when
his
co-star
Amitabh
Bachchan
expressed
a
desire
to
join
him
at
the
golf
course.
Maddy,
it
must
be
mentioned,
is
a
national-level
golf
champ
and
winner
of
several
national
and
international
prizes
for
the
sport.
Mr
Bachchan
had
never
played
golf
before.
"Or
so
he
said," says
the
still-dazed-and-dazzled
Maddy
from
Pune.
"But
seeing
how
he
played
I
was
shocked.
No
one
except
Mr
Bachchan
can
be
so
good
at
a
game
he
has
never
played
before."
It
happened
suddenly
when
one
day
Mr
Bachchan
decided
to
join
Maddy
at
the
golf
course.
"I
thought
I'd
be
privileged
enough
to
teach
him
a
few
moves.
But
I
was
stunned
at
the
way
he
played.
He
was
spectacular.
And
if
this
was
his
first
time
ever
at
golf
then
I've
just
become
an
even
bigger
of
his," says
Maddy
who
played
an
Amitabh
Bachchan
fan
in
Ramji
Londonwale
and
even
got
the
mega-star
to
make
an
appearance
at
the
end
of
the
film.
Now
Maddy
is
toying
with
the
idea
of
a
film
based
on
the
game
of
golf
featuring
Mr
Bachchan
and
Maddy.
"I
don't
know
how
he
did
it!
He's
unbelievably
athletic.
His
hand
co-ordination
is
extraordinary.
Other
people
generally
take
four
years
for
what
he
did
on
the
golf
course
on
his
first
day…and
so
easily.
He
has
phenomenal
pick-up
powers
whether
it's
on
the
golf
course
or
on
the
sets."
Not
much
of
a
card-player
either
the
Big
B
picked
up
the
cards
game
so
fast
for
Teen
Patti
that
he
left
Maddy
and
other
team
members
gasping.
"He's
extraordinary
in
whatever
he
does.
I
feel
like
his
pupil," says
Maddy
who
plays
a
professor
in
Teen
Patti.
“And
then
I
go
right
back
to
playing
the
student
in
Raj
Kumar
Hirani's
3
Idiots.
But
being
around
the
Big
B
I
always
feel
like
a
student,"
states
Maddy.
