After
impressing
us
with
his
stellar
performances
in
films,
R
Madhavan
is
all
set
to
take
the
digital
world
by
storm
with
India's
first
medical
thriller
titled
Breathe.
Recently
in
a
media
interaction,
Madhavan
revealed
how
it
was
quite
challenging
for
him
to
portray
his
character.
He
said,
"If
you
have
to
do
this
for
a
2-hour
film,
it
is
easier
because
you
have
to
keep
in
track
only
120
minutes
about
what
you
are
doing.
So
if
you
reach
the
peak
of
an
emotion
in
the
first
half,
then
you
know
you
can
sustain
it
throughout.
But
in
this
one,
it
has
to
be
maintained
over
a
period
of
360
minutes
which
is
almost
close
to
four
films.
And
shooting
it
for
at
the
same
time
period
as
one
movie
which
is
50
days.
So
all
this
was
a
big
challenge
which
I
never
expected
to
be
faced
with
when
I
accepted
this
web
series."
Giving
a
little
insight
about
what
he
is
playing
in
the
web-series,
Madhavan
said,
"My
character's
name
is
Danny
Mascarenhas.
From
the
trailer
it
is
evident
that
there
is
a
problem
with
his
son,
his
life
is
in
danger
and
he
will
have
to
make
choices
that
might
not
be
morally
or
legally
correct.
What
will
you
do
in
a
situation
where
you
have
a
choice
to
save
somebody
who
is
really
close
to
you
but
you
are
restricted
by
laws
and
the
society
rules.
Will
you
go
ahead
and
what
it
takes
to
save
him
or
will
you
stay
quiet
within
the
rules
and
let
them
die?
That's
the
choice
that
my
character
has
to
make
in
this
series."
The
actor
was
shooting
for
Breathe
simultaneously
with
Viikram
Vedha.
When
quizzed
if
it
was
difficult
for
him
to
switch
between
the
characters
he
said,
"Yes,
it
was
overlapping.
I
would
like
to
say
it
was
but
it
wasn't.
In
Vikram
Vedha,
I
was
coming
from
a
straightforward
place,
he
is
the
righteous
guy
and
he
sticks
to
the
law.
Here
the
character
was
so
frightening
in
terms
of
things
he
had
to
face
that
I
would
never
want
to
come
back
with
the
same
character
after
the
shoot
was
over.
So
as
soon
the
shoot
used
to
get
over,
I
used
to
hang
around
with
the
guys,
just
play
around
and
forget
about
him.
So
the
withdrawal
was
very
fast.
So
it
was
not
really
tough
for
me
because
it
was
totally
different
situations."
Madhavan
who
is
playing
the
role
of
a
father
in
the
digital
series
was
very
touched
by
the
script.
The
actor
discussed
the
character
and
the
story
with
his
son
before
signing
the
project.
Reportedly
he
took
cues
from
his
real-life
son
and
himself
to
play
the
character.
and
when
asked
about
it
he
said,
"He
has
an
acute
sense
of
what
will
work
and
his
reactions
have
proved
right
all
the
time,
so
I
value
it
immensely.
He
was
all
smiles
and
is
very
excited
about
Breathe."
