Madhavan will next be seen as a celebrity musician, Anthony in his upcoming multilingual suspense thriller Nishabdham. Directed by Hemanth Madhukar, the first look of the Madhavan from the film was unveiled by its makers today. 

The poster features Madhavan sitting on a chair surrounded by green bushes, sporting a salt-and-pepper look, playing double bass. It isn't clear whether he plays a visually impaired person in the film, as he is seen wearing a dark-shaded sunglass. It may be recalled that Anushka's first look in the film revealed that she is playing a mute artist. 

Sharing the first look Hemanth tweeted,

Set against the backdrop of Seattle in the USA, the shooting of Nishabdham has been wrapped up and the post-production is underway. People Media Factory and Kona Film Corporation are jointly producing the film, which also stars Anjali, Shalini Pandey, Srinivas Avasarala and Subbaraju in important roles.
