Mani Ratnam has been credited for giving us innumerable classic films but it must be remembered that he also gave us Maddy. The filmmaker introduced him in Alaipayuthe as the lover boy with the killer smile and Madhavan capitalized on this opportunity to strike it big in the Tamil industry as well as in Bollywood.

Later the duo came together in Ayutha Ezhuthu and Kannathil Muthamittal. Madhavan also did a cameo for Mani Rathnam in Guru. This Guru and Sishyan combo is one of our favorites!
