Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 21 (ANI): After starring in the blockbuster 'Dhurandhar' franchise, actor R Madhavan is now all set to be seen as industrialist Gopalswamy Doraiswamy Naidu in a new film.

Based on the life of Gopalswamy Doraiswamy Naidu, widely celebrated as the 'Edison of India,' the film aims to bring the 'extraordinary journey and legacy of one of India's greatest innovators to the big screen.'

Check out Madhavan's look as G.D. Naidu.

Carrying the powerful line, 'Feared by the British... Forgotten by his countrymen,' the visual hints at the emotional and historical depth the film is set to explore.

Directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar and produced by Varghese Moolan Pictures in association with Tricolour Films, the project is mounted as a multilingual release across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi on July 17.

This marks Madhavan's second consecutive intense transformation after' Dhurandhar'. In the Ranveer Singh-starrer, he plays a character inspired by India's National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval. (ANI)
