About GDN
The cast also features Jayaram, Sathyaraj, Priyamani, Dushara Vijayan, Aditi Balan and Vinay Rai in key roles. The screenplay has been written by Krishnakumar Ramakumar and R. Madhavan, and is produced by Varghese Moolan in association with Tricolour Films.
Set against the backdrop of pre-independence India, GDN follows G.D. Naidu’s rise from his humble beginnings in Coimbatore to becoming one of the country’s most influential inventors.
Who was G.D. Naidu
Born on March 23, 1893, in Kalangal near Coimbatore, Naidu left school at an early age. Instead of textbooks, he chose practical experience to learn about machines, which later played a key role in his life.
He was a self-taught engineer and contributed his life to engineering, public transport, manufacturing and technical education.
Naidu developed India's first indigenous electric motor, which contributed to Coimbatore's rise as a major engineering and manufacturing hub.
Other devices associated with them were an electric razor, ultra-thin shaving blades, a fruit juice extractor, a distance adjuster for film cameras, a kerosene-powered fan and a vote-recording machine.
GDN is slated to hit theatres on August 7, 2026, in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
