 Do you relate with any of the characters you play in the movie?

Kangana:  it won’t be correct to tell you with which character I relate with because I’m an actor and I have different skills and have a different perspective towards things, the work I do is different them. One of those characters is a housewife and the other is a student, so I can’t   completely say whether I relate with any of them or not.

This was your first time acting a double role and one of them was an athlete so how difficult was it to act? And how much homework did you have to do?

Kangana: it was very difficult as the producers saved their money and made one girl do both the girl’s part. One of them was fed up with her marriage and wanted a break free from her commitment as she didn’t love her husband. On the other hand the other one is an athlete and wants to do things for her state and country and how she falls for a divorced man. I also had to train myself as a triple jumper according to the role and take up the challenge of her accent as you have heard. So, doing both the roles was not easy.

  Which role do you prefer more? 

Kangana: I can’t tell you that because when I am doing the film and being “Tanu” I cant stand “Daddo” and when I am being “Daddo” I dislike “Tanu”. When the script was offered to me I knew that Daddo is my new character now and it will be new to the audience too, but when the trailer came out it seemed like Daddo was a new wave in the city and everyone has forgotten Tanu. I thought it was unfair so I asked them to cut the song of Daddo,as I am proud of both them and both of them deserve equal attention.

You got the National award twice, how do you feel?

Kangana: the feeling is amazing. I got the first one in the beginning of my career where it had been only one or two years in the industry. Now when I see there is a lot of difference as I have been working for about eight or nine years and I have so many friends and worked with so many people and they are all rooting for me, so the ambience becomes very special. We even celebrated Mary Kom’s and Queen’s together, it feels great.

Would you like to work with any directors from Bengal?

Kangana: well you see it seems like Bengalis have already taken over Bollywood and there is no doubt about that. When it comes to Bengal, I have a strong connection with it as I was launched by a Bengali and he kept on talking in Bengali and making me have Bengali food. He even taught me makingBengali food! In fact you will see Bengalis bagging maximum of the National awards where you don’t see people from the hills. I will also start working with Sujoy da who is from Bengal. My connection with Bengal is very strong and if I will work in the future if I  get any chance to work with any Bengal’s director.

 From when are you going to work with Sujoyda?

Kangana: well let Tanu weds Manu get released and after I get some headspace I will start working  with him. The work will start very soon.

Does Kusum match Tanu at any point?

R.Madhavan: well it is an important part of the film to find out the difference and if I tell you about it now then you won’t find interest in watching it, but I’d like to say that if one gets married it feels like having some spicy food but the after effect we get in the morning seems a bit contrary about what it does to you later. I think that it’s difficult to keep marriages standing now a days and this movie says it all about it.

How do you choose your films?

R.Madhavan: I choose scripts according to their logic, a film won’t stand straight if the director is good but the script is not good or the script is good but the actors are not being able to pull it off. I also check out the motive behind the making of the film, like is the film being made solely for making money or being made to create history like Rang De Basanti, 3 idiots, Guru, or  Tanu weds Manu.

Would you ever like to work in any Bengali movies?

R.Madhavan: we have to respect today’s youth and their ideas as I have to learn the language well and adapt to the character otherwise I’ll seem like a buffoon in their film. I haven’t got the time to learn the language well but if I get the chance I will and try out other Indian languages too. I have worked with Rituporno Ghosh before but the film never got released.

You have worked with the Bengali actor Mumtaz Sorkar, how was the experience?

R.Madhavan: it was a lovely experience. She is an extraordinary friend and lady. She has done a lovely job and I’m waiting for it to come out as well.

Did you show her some magic trick?

R.Madhavan: She told everything! Well everyone knows that she is junior P.C.Sorkar’s daughter so one day she was showing me few tricks, so I said that see a few tricks from me now. It was a happy competition on the set.

Any new movies?                               

R.Madhavan: yeah my new movie will be released in three or four months.
