Anushka, Madhavan to begin shooting for Silence next year

Anushka and Madhavan, who have been brought on board for a thriller titled Silence, will begin shooting for the film in USA next year. Popular Telugu producer, Kona Venkat, who is bankrolling this project, made the announcement via Twitter on Anushka’s birthday (November 7). “My best birthday wishes to the wonderful human being Anushka! Happy to start our next project with her soon. Shooting begins in 2019 in USA,” he wrote. 

The film will be directed by Hemant Madhukar, who has earlier helmed Mumbai 125 KM and Vastadu Naa Raju. Silence will have Anushka and Madhavan paired with each other after more than a decade. The duo earlier acted together in Rendu, which was incidentally Anushka’s Tamil debut. While Madhavan was last seen in a negative role in Savyasachi, Anushka's last release was 2017’s Bhaagamathie.
