Madhavan Brings 'Edison of India' to Life in Final Shoot Schedule
Actor R Madhavan is currently in the last leg of filming for one of the most awaited biographical dramas in Indian cinema, based on the life of the legendary inventor and industrialist, Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu. The actor, who is shooting the final schedule of the movie overseas, recently delighted his fans by offering a sneak peek into the production process through his social media channels.
A Grand Entrance on Two Wheels
In a video shared on his official Instagram handle, Madhavan made a stylish arrival at the film's set. He was seen riding a sophisticated Honda Goldwing Sports touring bike. After bringing the powerful machine to a halt, the popular star of '3 Idiots' addressed his followers, asking, "Best way to come to the shoot for a film on G. D Naidu sir. What do you think?" He then rode off with a cheerful laugh, capturing the enthusiastic spirit of the project.
Accompanying the dynamic clip was a caption that read, "#GDN .. LAST SCHEDULE ABROAD", followed by a hug, a red heart, and praying hands emojis, signaling the emotional and pivotal stage of the film's creation.
The First Look Teased a Powerful Transformation
The production had earlier generated significant buzz back in October, when the team released the first look teaser of the film, titled "G.D.N.". The teaser provided a gripping glimpse into Madhavan's remarkable physical transformation into the iconic figure.
The clip opened with the actor's character deeply engrossed in work within a workshop, his face initially hidden by a welding shield. The moment gained intensity when he removed the shield, revealing Madhavan in a completely new avatar. He appeared as an aged G.D. Naidu, sporting spectacles and embodying the wisdom and determination that earned Naidu the revered title of the 'Edison of India'.
While sharing the first look on a photo-sharing app, Madhavan had written, "The spirit of G.D.NAIDU is now officially unveiled. A story of unmatched vision, towering ambition, and unwavering resolve. We proudly present the First Look Teaser of G.D.N."
Celebrating the Legacy of a Self-Made Pioneer
The film "G.D.N." is a cinematic tribute that chronicles the extraordinary life of Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu, a self-taught engineer, inventor, and industrialist from Coimbatore. His contributions were pivotal in revolutionizing Indian industry.
His most notable achievement was developing India's first indigenous electric motor. Beyond this, his inventive genius spanned a wide range of creations, including petrol engines, ticket machines, and various pieces of agricultural equipment, cementing his status as a true pioneer.
The biopic is directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar and is a production by Varghese Moolan Pictures in collaboration with Tricolour Films. The film boasts a strong supporting cast, featuring accomplished actors like Priyamani, Jayaram, and Yogi Babu in key roles, promising a powerful and engaging narrative.
