R Madhavan blasts healthcare brand

Madhavan called out the healthcare brand for using his old interview clip without consent to promote its weight loss services. He also revealed of sending a legal notice to brand and warned his fans of such frauds.

The post on the post read: "This REEL is making it sound like I'm endorsing their product. They have just taken a clip from an interview without any permissions and used it as an endorsement from my end. How are the public ever going to believe these people are their treatment. Shame”.

He captioned the post, "What a shame. How do these people and organization think they can get away with this. You cannot take a clip of somebody’s interview and make it part of your endorsement. Legal notice sent. Please BEWARE of these kind of professionals and organizations. @join.elevate.now (sic)."

The brand allegedly used an older clip of the actor where he was speaking about his fitness habits through intermittent fasting, healthy eating and disciplined habits. The now-deleted reel also featured a man claiming to be a doctor, who was talking about Maddy’s physical transformation.
