Director Krishnakumar Ramakumar’s forthcoming biopic on the illustrious scientist GD Naidu is set to illuminate the narrative of India’s “Edison.” With the majority of the film shot in Coimbatore, Naidu’s birthplace, R. Madhavan takes on the pivotal role.
The film aims to encapsulate the spirit of Naidu’s extraordinary contributions to both science and society, ensuring an authentic representation rooted in his origins.

In an exclusive interview with IANS, executive producer Muralidharan Subramanian shared that nearly 95% of the filming will occur in Coimbatore, emphasizing a strong connection to the locations that played a significant role in Naidu’s life.
“We want the film to genuinely reflect his experiences, and shooting in Coimbatore is crucial in achieving that,” Subramanian noted.

The remaining 5% of the film includes a few international scenes, partially completed last year, with ongoing production for the rest. Shooting for the Indian segments of the biopic is slated to begin on February 18, with more details about the project, including its title, to be revealed shortly.

This film has been in development for several years, with Ramakumar’s team dedicating extensive time to researching Naidu’s life. Subramanian remarked, “The director and his team have invested three to five years studying Naidu’s life to ensure we honor his significant contributions.”

Following the success of their National Award-winning film ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect,’ Varghese Moolan Pictures and Tricolour Films are collaborating again to bring this inspiring tale to the screen. R. Madhavan, who previously portrayed Nambi Narayanan in ‘Rocketry,’ will take on the lead role of GD Naidu. Known for his visionary outlook and innovative mindset, Naidu was a trailblazing scientist and a key player in Coimbatore’s industrial development, earning him the title of the “Wealth Creator of Coimbatore.”

The film is produced by Vijay Moolan and Varghese Moolan of Varghese Moolan Pictures, in collaboration with R. Madhavan and Sarita Madhavan of Tricolour Films. Aravind Kamalanathan serves as both the cinematographer and creative producer.
