Anushka Shetty is one of the most bankable actresses in the South Indian film industry, and she has that star power to shoulder movies alone. The actress is now awaiting the release of her new movie Nishabdham, and according to reports, this thriller film will be released in Amazon Prime on October 02, 2020. R Madhavan is also playing a crucial role in this movie, and it marks Anushka’s onscreen reunion with Madhavan after Rendu.

Earlier, the makers of this movie had planned to release Nishabdham in April. However, as theaters remained closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, they decided to indefinitely postpone its release. As coronavirus cases in India are witnessing a drastic surge every day, makers have decided to release the movie via an OTT platform.

“We are excited to bring to the audience the eagerly awaited thriller Nishabdham in collaboration with Amazon Prime Video,” said Hemanth Madhukar, director of Nishabdham.

Anushka Shetty revealed that her character in this movie was very challenging, and it made her come out of the comfort zone. She also shared her excitement of working with Madhavan after many years. As per close sources to the movie, Anushka is playing the role of a mute and deaf girl who gets entangled in a criminal investigation in this film.

Madhavan revealed that Nishabdham will be an intriguing thriller that will cater to audiences of all genres irrespective of the language barrier.

“I enjoy watching and being a part of thriller films. Nishabdham is definitely one of the most intriguing movies that I have been associated with. Set in the US and shot extensively in Seattle and other parts of the US, the story is relatable to global audiences,” said Madhavan.

Apart from Anushka Shetty and Madhavan, Nishabdham also stars Anjali, Shalini Pandey, Subbaraju and Hollywood actor Michael Madson in other prominent roles.

Now, in a recent interaction with Manorama News, Sibi Malayil has revealed some exclusive details about Devadoothan. During the talk, Sibi revealed that Devadoothan was originally planned in 1983 as his debut movie with Nasaruddeen Shah and Madhavi in the lead roles. However, the film failed to take off, and Sibi made his debut through Mutharamkunnu PO.

After establishing himself as a bankable filmmaker in Mollywood, the director once again revived this project in the late 1990s and planned the film with Kollywood romantic hero Madhavan. As the project did not work out due to Madhavan’s commitments, Sibi Malayil finalized Mollywood superstar Mohanlal to play the lead role in this film.

Sibi Malayil revealed that the film was made with a top technical team, and they had made sure that this romantic fantasy was being made with an uncompromising cinematic language. Despite all these efforts, the film bombed at the box-office, and it literally shattered the filmmaker.

“Mohanlal at that time had emerged as a mass hero through movies like Narasimham and Aaram Thampuran. Audiences who entered the movie halls to see Devadoothan might have expected Mohanlal in an extreme mass avatar, and that commercial package was lacking there. I believe this was one of the reasons behind Devadoothan’s failure at the box-office. I still feel sorry for producer Siyad Koker who is also my best friend who bankrolled money for this film,” said Sibi Malayil during the interview.

Sibi Malayil also added that he is now quite happy about the fact that Devadoothan is now getting recognition among young audiences in the state.
