Actor Vivek Anand Oberoi recently took to his social media to praise R. Madhavan’s remarkable range as an actor, celebrating his ability to effortlessly adapt to diverse roles. Sharing his admiration, Oberoi wrote, “Every time an @ActorMadhavan film drops, you surprise us with your versatility. From Rocketry to Shaitaan, and now Dhurandhar, you’ve aced each look and character with impeccable range and finesse. Good luck on this one team, #Dhurandhar looks.”
The post comes just as Madhavan’s intense first look from Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller “Dhurandhar” was unveiled, generating significant buzz online. In the film, Madhavan plays the enigmatic “Charioteer of Karma,” a character shrouded in mystery and philosophical undertones. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar—of Uri: The Surgical Strike fame—stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, and Sara Arjun, making it one of the most ambitious ensemble projects of 2025.
Oberoi’s praise underscores the growing camaraderie and creative support within Bollywood, where actors are increasingly using social media to celebrate each other’s work. His tweet quickly garnered attention from fans of both stars, further amplifying anticipation for Dhurandhar, which is set for a December 2025 theatrical release.
R. Madhavan’s transformation for the role has been described as one of his most complex yet, following his acclaimed performances in Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (2022) and the supernatural thriller Shaitaan (2024). His career continues to evolve across genres—ranging from science, spirituality, and horror to action and espionage—cementing his place among India’s most versatile performers.
Meanwhile, Vivek Oberoi is gearing up for his next big-screen outing in Mastiii 4, a comedy entertainer that marks his return to the genre after several high-octane projects. His supportive message for Madhavan highlights not only professional respect but also the spirit of collaboration that defines the new era of Bollywood.
