Actor R Madhavan has once again set social media abuzz, this time with a striking glimpse from his much-anticipated biopic G.D. Naidu. The Rocketry star has unveiled the first look teaser of GDN. 

The actor looked unrecognisable in the biopic of the "self-taught engineer and industrial pioneer." In the 43-second-long video, Madhavan as Naidu is seen working. The actor captioned the post, “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 GDN.”

A biopic on India’s ‘Edison’

G.D. Naidu is a biographical drama based on the life and legacy of Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu, a self-taught engineer, inventor, and industrialist from Coimbatore, often called the “Edison of India.” Naidu revolutionized Indian industry by developing the country’s first indigenous electric motor and creating practical, affordable innovations in engineering. His inventions ranged from razors and fans to petrol engines, ticket machines, and agricultural equipment.

Directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar, the biopic is produced by Varghese Moolan Pictures in collaboration with Tricolour Films, the same production banner behind Madhavan’s National Award-winning Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.
