00:00Hi viewers, welcome to Filmy Beat. I am your Anusha.
00:08Sakhi cinema is a name that 90's kids don't need to know.
00:12This film was released as a dubbing for the Tamil movie Alaipayuthe.
00:19We all know the director Manidharanam.
00:21This film was a big hit in the 90's.
00:25It is an all time favourite film for many 90's kids.
00:29The music in this film is amazing.
00:33We still hum to it.
00:35The music is still in our favourites list.
00:39When it comes to hero and heroine in Sakhi cinema,
00:42Madhavan has become a hero and a star for many people.
00:50Shalini is a childhood friend.
00:52We have seen Shalini in many films as Baby Shalini's sister.
00:57We have seen Shalini as a heroine only in Telugu in Sakhi cinema.
01:01We can see this film as a hit.
01:03This film is still being watched on TV.
01:06Many people are watching this film on their laptops.
01:10Let's put this film aside for a while.
01:13Let's think about how Madhavan came into cinema.
01:17When Madhavan was born as a Tamil Brahmin,
01:19he was given a lot of importance for academics.
01:22When his father wanted to see him as an engineer,
01:25he became a bit dull in academics.
01:27His father encouraged him to pursue acting.
01:32He became a model.
01:34He got a chance in some serials.
01:37Before getting a chance in serials,
01:39he got a chance to act in some ads.
01:47Santhosh Sivan referred Madhavan for auditions.
01:50Maniratnam, the director, had two auditions in Sakhi.
01:56Madhavan attended those auditions.
01:58When Madhavan performed well in those auditions,
02:01he was rejected because he looked like a small boy.
02:04Later, he got a chance to act in some Hindi serials.
02:09Later, Madhavan got a chance to act in some small films.
02:15He got a chance to act in a Kannada film called Shanti Shanti Shanti.
02:22Shanti Shanti Shanti flopped in Kannada.
02:25Later, Madhavan got a chance to act in a Hindi film called Akeli.
02:28That was also a main lead.
02:30But that film stopped before it was completed.
02:32While Madhavan's life as a model continued in serials,
02:37Maniratnam was auditioning for Sakhi.
02:40At that time, Maniratnam liked Madhavan's audition.
02:44So, he got a call from Madhavan.
02:48So, he got a call from Madhavan.
02:51This is how Madhavan's journey started.
02:54This film was remade in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
02:57In Hindi, it was a super hit.
03:00In Telugu, it was a super hit.
03:03In Tamil, it was played in theatres for more than 100 days.
03:05Madhavan became a star.
03:08After Madhavan became a star,
03:10Shanti Shanti Shanti was remade in Tamil.
03:16So, that film became a super hit in Tamil.
03:19We can say that Madhavan created a buzz in Tamil.
03:23So, this is how Madhavan's growth started.
03:26Now, let's talk about Sakhi's film.
03:30Before Madhavan, Sakhi was a hero.
03:36Maniratnam told the entire story to a Bollywood star.
03:42Maniratnam told the entire story to Shah Rukh Khan.
03:46Shah Rukh Khan agreed immediately.
03:49Maniratnam didn't think about the climax yet.
03:54So, let's think about the climax slowly.
03:57Maniratnam was completing Dil Se Cinema with Shah Rukh Khan.
04:04Maniratnam wanted to start the film after Dil Se was completed.
04:08So, he didn't think about the climax yet.
04:12Dil Se became a super hit.
04:14Maniratnam didn't think about the climax yet.
04:17Instead of Shah Rukh Khan, Madhavan was given an opportunity.
04:22So, Madhavan proved himself.
04:24If you have any other hero other than Madhavan in Sakhi's film,
04:30maybe we can't replace him.
04:32What do you think? Comment below.
