Madhavan, who is currently in Canada, was happy to host Premier of Alberta, Rachel Notley, during the screening of "Saala Khadoos".
"I'm grateful that 'Saala Khadoos' got a grand opening at the International Film Festival of Alberta. It means a lot when a story so close to my heart and which is universal gets applauded and accepted by the foreign audience. Everyone in the audience was incredibly moved," Madhavan said in a statement here.
Before the screening, the 46-year-old actor delivered a speech at the session attended by the Premier, ministers, local dignitaries and city representatives.
In "Saala Khadoos", a sports drama directed by Sudha Kongara, Madhavan played the role of a boxing coach, while newcomer Ritika Singh featured as an aspiring boxer.
The film released in India in January.
