Shooting of Madhavan's eagerly awaited film 'G.D.N' wrapped up!
Chennai, Dec 15
The shooting of director Krishnakumar Ramakumar's upcoming film 'G.D.N.', featuring actor Madhavan as the great Indian scientist G D Naidu, has now been wrapped, its makers announced on Monday.
Producer Vijay Moolan, whose production house is producing this eagerly awaited film, took to his Instagram page to make the announcement.
Posting pictures of the wrap up party that was held in Dubai, the producer wrote, "And .. it's a wrap for #GDN . WrapUpParty!"
Interestingly, actor Madhavan had, only last week, penned a heartfelt birthday wish for producer Vijay Moolan, in which he said he had seldom met anybody who had so much trust in his abilities.
Taking to his social media timelines to post a picture of himself with his producer, Madhavan wrote, "Wish you the HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY EVERRRR, my dear brother. I've always been so grateful to have you in my life, but with every passing year, your importance and influence in my life has been greater than ever. I have seldom met anybody who has so much trust in my abilities ..you see in me more than I can see in myself and forget I'm so grateful. God bless you and I pray that our closeness and adventurous journey continues forever. Love you, my man."
For the unaware, 'G.D.N.' is the highly anticipated biopic of well known scientist and industrial pioneer Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu, more popularly known as G D Naidu.
It may be recalled that in November this year, Madhavan was shooting for the last schedule of the film abroad. In October, the makers had unveiled the first look teaser of the film.
The clip showed Madhavan transformed as Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu, hard at work in his workshop. In the beginning, his face is covered with a welding shield. However, he later removes the shield and appears in an aged, bold avatar with spectacles as the 'Edison of India'.
Dropping the first look teaser of 'G.D.N.' on the photo-sharing app, Madhavan had shared the caption, "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. (sic)."
'G.D.N.' chronicles the life of Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu, who was a self-taught engineer, inventor, and industrialist from Coimbatore. He is known for revolutionizing the Indian industry by developing the country's first indigenous electric motor. Some of his other inventions include petrol engines, ticket machines, and agricultural equipment.
Directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar, 'G.D.N.' has been backed by Varghese Moolan Pictures in collaboration with Tricolour Films.
The core cast of the drama includes Priyamani, Jayaram, and Yogi Babu in key roles, along with others.

So happy to see a biopic on a Tamil scientist getting this kind of pan-India treatment. We need more films celebrating our unsung heroes instead of just remakes. The first look was powerful. Hope the script does justice to his legacy.
As someone interested in engineering history, I'm thrilled. G.D. Naidu's work on the indigenous electric motor was groundbreaking for India's industrial independence. Hope the film highlights the technical challenges he faced.
The bond between Madhavan and the producer seems so genuine! It's nice to see such support behind the scenes. Also, a wrap party in Dubai? The budget looks solid. Expecting high production values. 🤞
With Jayaram and Yogi Babu in the cast, there should be some good moments. But I really hope the focus stays on Naidu's life and work. Sometimes biopics get distracted by unnecessary commercial elements. Fingers crossed!
More than the film, I'm excited for the educational aspect. How many of our kids know about G.D. Naidu? This will inspire a whole generation to look at science and innovation with pride. Jai Vigyan! ðŸ™
