Actor R Madhavan has hit out at a healthcare brand for using his name and an interview clip to promote its services without permission. On Wednesday, the actor took to Instagram and revealed that he had sent a legal notice to the company, which he described as misleading use of his content.Expressing his anger, Madhavan wrote in his caption, “What a shame. How do these people and organizations think they can get away with this. You can’t take a clip of someone’s conversation and make it part of your advocacy. Legal notice sent. Please ‼️ BEWARE‼️ of these kinds of professionals and organizations.”She wrote “Scam alert” sharing a screenshot of the reel and said, “This reel is making it look like I’m endorsing their product. They just took a clip from an interview without any permission and used it as an endorsement from my end. How can the public think these people are their treatment!! Shame on you!” The controversial reel includes a clip from Madhavan’s previous interviews where he talks about losing weight in 21 days. The video is then followed by a man claiming to be a doctor, discussing the actor’s physical transformation, making Madhavan appear to be endorsing the health brand.Apart from Madhavan, the Instagram account has also reportedly used interview clips featuring the filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Ram Kapoor while mentioning their transformations.So far, the healthcare company has not publicly responded to Madhavan’s allegations or legal notices.On the work front, Madhavan was last seen in Dhurandhar The Revenge, which performed brilliantly at the box office. He also has several upcoming projects in the pipeline including GD N (Tamil), Adhirshtasaali (Tamil) and Circle, a bilingual film he is making in Hindi and Tamil. Release dates for these films have not been announced yet.Meanwhile, rumors continue about Madhavan being a part of Alpha starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, though there is no official confirmation about his involvement.
