The grapevine in Kollywood is that Anushka Shetty and Madhavan starrer Nishabdham/Silence will have a direct release on streaming platform instead of a theatrical release. However, sources close to the team have completely denied the news as a baseless rumor.
Directed by Hemant Madhukar, Silence is a silent thriller where Anushka plays a businesswoman who is speech and hearing impaired. Anjali, Shalini Pandey, and others comprise the star cast, which will also have Hollywood actor Michael Madsen in an important role. Following Pesum Padam and Karthik Subbaraj’s Mercury, this would be another silent film in Tamil cinema.
