Madhavan-starrer GDN makers reveal Sathyaraj's look as Ramaiah Pillai
A new movie called GDN is coming out on August 7.
It tells the true story of a famous Indian inventor named G D Naidu.
The movie makers just shared a picture of actor Sathyaraj, who plays a character called Ramaiah Pillai.
The post says some men stand firm, no matter the storm.
Many other actors are in the movie, including Madhavan in the lead role.
In the story, G D Naidu makes millions through his transport system UMS and starts a polytechnic engineering college.
Some jealous rivals and the British try to stop him with false charges.
They even accuse him of treason, saying he did business with the Nazis.
But GDN was an honest taxpayer who only questioned the government when taxes were unfair.
The trailer ends by saying that if a hunt is written by the lion without the hunter, the meaning of courage itself would change.
The makers of Madhavan-starrer 'GDN' revealed Sathyaraj's look as Ramaiah Pillai on Instagram.
The film is director Krishnakumar Ramakumar's period biopic of Indian inventor, agriculturist and philanthropist G D Naidu.
'GDN' is slated to hit screens worldwide on August 7.
Earlier, the makers had released looks of Jayaram as Ambalapara Krishnan, Vinay Rai as Bhupendra, Dushara Vijayan as Ranganayaki, Sheela as young Chellamal and Teejay Arunasalam as young G D Naidu.
The trailer shows the British levelling trumped-up charges and treason accusations against GDN, including claims he did business with the Nazis.
