Maddie as King Khan’s brother

Be it in terms of looks or his demeanour, Maddie has been likened to the sprightly Shah Rukh Khan many a time. And it is perhaps this similarity, that has prompted Karan Johar to cast Maddie as SRK’s brother in My Name is Khan.

Madhavan, who hasn’t smelt a lot of success in Tamil cinema in recent times, is already working for 'Theen Patti' with Amitabh Bachchan and Three Idiots with Aamir Khan.

In Tamil, meanwhile, he has signed up for a movie with Thankar Bachan in which Sathyaraj plays his dad. He also has 'Naan Aval Adhu', 'Yaavarum Nalam' pending for release, apart from Aananda Punnagai.
