R Madhavan, who has a huge fan following among the audience for his versatility, has announced his next film, ‘G.D.N.’ The actor will play the role of G.D. Naidu, who was a technical redesigner and industrial pioneer and is known for transforming imported technologies into practical and affordable innovations for India. The actor looks completely unrecognisable in his new look, and fans can’t stop praising him.

As fans are in awe of Madhavan’s look in the biopic, the film’s director Krishnakumar Ramakumar revealed that it took 2.5 hours every day to create the actor’s look as G.D. Naidu. He told Times Of India, “He’s spending two-and-a-half hours every day in the morning for the prosthetics. Because he is wearing a thin latex cap, he can’t even scratch his head while shooting because, if he does it would spilt open.”

Earlier, unveiling the film’s first look, he wrote, “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.”

While speaking to The New Indian Express, director Krishnakumar Ramakumar shared, “Knowing that Maddy sir went through a strenuous process to transform into Nambi Narayanan sir, we knew he would give it all to look like GDN. Madhavan sir is particular about bringing originality to the looks, since it is the first step in effectively communicating the story.”

“Maddy sir is known for his charm, and his hairstyle, right? Even I am a fan of his wet-hair look in ‘Evano Oruvan Vasikkiraan’ from Alai Payuthey. His hairstyle is a part of his personality. In Rocketry, he just had to dye his hair white, but in GDN, he had let go of it. But Maddy sir wanted to do it for the story we were telling. That shows his dedication and respect towards the script and GD Naidu sir,” he added.
