In the series,
National Geographic and Madhavan, with the help of acclaimed scientists and
expert psychoanalysts, will scratch beneath the surface to magnify milestone
instances in the Icons' lives. This new format to look into the lives of Icons
who inspire millions, will be used to question whether these personalities were
born to be different, or were moulded into greatness by their life experiences.
Commenting on the
series, the actor said in a statement: "We enjoy watching each ball
rushing towards the fence from Virat's bat. And the excellence that Kamal
Haasan brings to the silver screen. But sometimes, we all sit back and wonder
-- what really has made these Icons what they are today? Were these
personalities just born to be great, and their success defined from day one? Or
did their journey through life, their experiences and hard work, really shape
them into the giants we revere.

"I am
excited to join National Geographic to decode this mystery, and bring to
viewers a completely new and incredible perspective of what really goes into
making an Icon."
