Rashmika Mandanna is set to play legendary Carnatic singer M.S. Subbulakshmi in a biographical film directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. Multiple outlets report that the film’s official launch is scheduled in Chennai ahead of Subbulakshmi’s 110th birth anniversary.
The launch takes place in Chennai, with NDTV and The Hindu describing it as occurring around the singer’s 110th birth anniversary. NDTV specifies the event is held at the Music Academy on Wednesday. Times of India adds that the ceremony features Kamal Haasan as the chief guest, and characterizes the project as a pan-India venture.
Regarding the creative team, all sources agree that Anirudh Ravichander will compose the music for the biopic. Beyond the core cast and production leadership—Mandanna as Subbulakshmi, Tinnanuri directing, and Anirudh handling music—the outlets mainly differ in the details they highlight about the venue and who attended the launch event.
