Brett Lee drops pics with R Madhavan from Dubai golf session
Mumbai, June 19
Former Australian pacer Brett Lee and actor R Madhavan recently enjoyed a round of golf in Dubai, with their friendly exchange on social media winning over fans.
The two met for a relaxed game on the golf course, and it was Brett Lee's Instagram post after the outing that quickly grabbed attention. Sharing a series of pictures, the former cricketer praised Madhavan both for his work on screen and his personality away from the spotlight.
Lee described Madhavan as "one of the most respected actors going around" and a "genuinely top bloke off screen", adding that it was great to finally play a round of golf with him. He also complimented the actor's company and swing, saying he was already looking forward to their next outing together.
"Great to finally get a round in with @actormaddy. One of the most respected actors going around, and turns out a genuinely top bloke off screen too. Good company, decent swing, looking forward to the next one mate," Lee wrote on X.
Madhavan responded to the post saying, "The feeling is so very mutual Chief. Except your swing is a subject of great envy. Until next time."

The interaction soon went viral, with social media users praising the easy camaraderie between the former Australian speedster and the Bollywood actor. The photographs showed the duo enjoying a casual day on the greens, away from their busy professional schedules.
Madhavan was last seen in Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar', in which he portrayed a character inspired by India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The actor is next set to headline a multilingual biopic on inventor and engineer GD Naidu.
Directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar and backed by Varghese Moolan Pictures in association with Tricolour Films, the biographical drama is scheduled to release in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi on July 17.

Madhavan is really a gem—humble and talented. And Brett Lee calling him "genuinely top bloke" just proves it. Glad to see positive vibes like this in the news instead of all the negativity. Also, that biopic on GD Naidu sounds interesting! Can't wait for July 17.
Nice to see sports stars and actors bonding across borders. It shows how cricket and cinema can bring people together. But honestly, I wish we'd see more coverage of actual issues in India—education, healthcare, infrastructure—instead of just celebrity golf outings. Just saying.
Brett Lee and Madhavan's friendship is so unexpected but adorable! 🏌️♂️ Bollywood and cricket have always had a special bond, and this just adds to it. Loved how they both appreciated each other's swing—true sportsmanship! Also, Madhavan's upcoming film on GD Naidu is a great choice, we need more biopics on our unsung inventors.
Madhavan is genuinely one of the most underrated actors in Bollywood. His work in "Dhurandhar" was top-notch, and now this biopic on GD Naidu? That's a refreshing change from the usual commercial masala films. And kudos to Brett Lee for being such a gracious sportsman—remember watching him in the 2003 World Cup. Time flies!
As an Aussie, I've always admired how Indian fans embrace our cricketers even after the intense rivalries. Brett Lee is a true ambassador for the sport, and seeing him build friendships like this is great. Madhavan seems like a class act too
