While his family was so much into music with Sajan Madhav being a
music director and Naveen Madhav being a
playback singer already, Rajan Madhav was a B.Com graduate and was looking forward to getting into direction. However, he was conscious enough not to use his dad's influence anywhere at work and so joined as an assistant director to
Shaji Kailas. After working as an AD for about six films, he was all set to commit as a director himself which was when his dad
Raveendran died. He then joined director
Mysskin as Co-director in his movie
Anjathey and then went on to become a director with his debut movie
Muran. He then started filming his second film, titled as
Ula. After four years of delay, in October 2018, the film's title was changed from
Ula to
Chithiram Pesuthadi 2. His third outing as director would be
Kattam. Newcomer Nandhan and
Sshivada are playing as lead pair in the movie. ==Personal life==
