‘Maarconi Mathaai’, the Malayalam-language family entertainer, featuring the super-talented Vijay Sethupathi and the versatile Jayaram as lead actors is coming out in Telugu. Directed by Sanil Kalathil, the film marked the ‘Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy’ actor Sethupathi’s debut in Mollywood. It is now being dubbed into Telugu as ‘Radio Madhav’. Actor Sree Vishnu has announced the film as a gesture.
“I am very happy that ‘Radio Madhav’ is coming out in Telugu. I wish the entire team of the movie all the best and wish them success,” Sree Vishnu said.
Talking about the promising film, producer DV Krishna Swamy said that Sethupathi will be seen in ‘Radio Madhav’ as himself. “Jayaram, who was seen as a villain ‘Bhaagamathie’ and in Allu Arjun’s ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’, has played the role of a bank security guard who got retired from the military. The story unfolds in the backdrop of an FM radio station. There is also a nice love story in the film.”
Co-producer DV Chalam said that the story takes place in Changanassery, a town lush with greenery in Kerala. “The songs in the film are cool,” he added. Executive Producer N Srinivasa Moorthy said that ‘Radio Madhav’ is a feel-good film. “The climax, shot in Goa, is quite exciting and will have the audience at the edge-of-the-seat anticipating whether the hero-heroine duo will be united,” he added.
Writer Bhasya Sri said, “It was an enjoyable experience working on the film. ‘Radio Madhav’ is a musical family entertainer like Venkatesh garu’s ‘Raja’ and ‘Sankranthi’. I hope the audience will make it a hit like the Malayalam version.”
