Mumbai, Nov 21 (NationPress) R Madhavan, known for his role as Rakul Preet Singh's father in the recently launched "De De Pyaar De 2", shared insights on why he felt the need to alter traditional parenting norms to make a similar impact on his son as his parents did on him.
Discussing the film's relevance in today's context, Madhavan stated, “In an era when such relationships were not widely accepted and often stigmatized, this film presents a groundbreaking narrative. Nowadays, the distinctions in relationships are less significant, but for those of us from older generations, accepting these changes can be challenging.”
Reflecting on his own journey as a father, he expressed the struggle to adapt to modern parenting styles, saying, “The values I grew up with, which were completely normal back then and for which we cherish our parents, can't be applied the same way with my son. Therefore, I must redefine the guidelines for myself as a father to ensure I have an equivalent influence, shaping him into a similar person.”
Offering movie enthusiasts another compelling reason to catch the family drama, the 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein' star added, “This film can serve as a guide for those who might encounter similar familial situations, providing solutions and explorations for such events, making it all the more thrilling.”
On the topic of generational differences and parenting philosophies, Madhavan's co-star Ajay Devgn contributed, “Presently, the youth believe they have the autonomy to make their own decisions. It’s not just a taboo anymore; while conflicts exist, it's essential to recognize that both perspectives hold their merits and drawbacks. This contrast is indeed fascinating.”
