The title poster of actor Rio's next film was unveiled on Wednesday. The film, also starring Saniya Iyappan, has been titled Maddy. The film is written and directed by Karthikeyan BK, who has previously worked as an associate director in films like Meesaya Murukku, Natpe Thunai, Master, Varisu and Leo.
Maddy's title poster features a cricket stadium and two chairs in a gallery with jerseys placed on each. While one jersey reads "Sachin", the other reads "Anjali". The film will also star Singampuli, Aju Varghese and RJ Vijay in prominent roles.
Maddy, which marks Rio's 7th outing and the filmmaker's debut, will be backed by Kalai Arasu under his Roll Time Studios banner. The producer is known for co-producing films like Thaai Kizhavi and House Mates, among others, with Sivakarthikeyan.
