His Bollywood innings as a lead was less successful. He tried to make a splash with Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, the Hindi remake of Minnale. Despite boasting of a terrific soundtrack, the movie flopped at the box office, but it found better reception during its television run. Madhavan found more success in his supporting roles in films like 3 Idiots

In between his interesting filmography, there are some rare movie appearances that many dont know of. A couple of these films are not even available anywhere, there is an animated appearance and a debut that Madhavan would rather forget. Check out these rare seven appearances of the actor right here!

Madhavan and Smriti Mishra in Kuch Tum Kaho song from Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin

Sudhir Mishras1996 thriller is set across one night (hence the title) and is considered an underrated film. The late Nirmal Pandey,Tara Deshpande andSmriti Mishra play the leads in the film. Madhavan appears as a singer in the lovely Kuch Tum Kaho track.

You cant just miss the trappings of the star there, even though it took four years for the rest of the country to recognise them.

Madhavan in Inferno

This international action thriller, that came out in 1997, had American martial artistDon Wilson as the lead. He plays an interpol officer who comes to India in search of his partners killer, while Madhavan plays an Indian officer who helps him out. Deepti Bhatnagar is the female lead in the movie.

Madhavan in Akeli

Thought Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein was Madhavans Bollywood debut as the lead? You are wrong! It was this 1999 kinda B-grade film where the actor played the lead in a Hindi film first. Pretty sure that neither the star nor his fans would like to remember that.
