On the eve of the release of his film Nisabdham, Madhavan says he plays a world-famous cello player who’s emotionally hurt because his wife cheats on him. “He is trying to find solace. And what happens when he meets somebody like Anushka’s Sakshi, who is exactly as broken as he is. And both of them are artists. What happens when these two artists get together forms the crux of the story. It was a very interesting concept. We were supposed to do a silent film. So the language was not a barrier because it was a film in which nobody spoke. Like how Pushpaka (Vimana) was.
As we went into the storytelling, we realised that we had to compromise on that. Because the thriller was not coming out with just silence. It was just looking like a gimmick. So we added the language later. But, I was very excited that there is a person who can’t speak or hear, and she solves the murder. It was an amazing experience,” he adds. The film is releasing on October 2 on Amazon Prime Video. It has been shot in America and Anushka Shetty plays the lead. Other actors are Anjali, Shalini Pandey, Subbaraju and Srinivasa Avasarala. The producer is Kona Venkat. It is important for the film to fare well. It was meant to be a big release in the theatres and one hopes it doesn’t end as Anushka’s swan song.
