Reports also suggest that Hollywood actor Michael Madsen plays a pivotal role in Silence. The film’s US schedule is to commence in March and Anushka and the team will have a tough time shooting for the movie due to the subzero temperatures. Besides Anushka, the star cast will also include Anjali and Shalini Pandey in substantial roles. The film will be bankrolled by Kona Venkat and People Media Factory’s TG Vishwaprasad jointly. Currently, Madhavan is also busy with Rocketry: the Nambi Effect, which will also mark his directorial debut .

Slated to hit theaters in October 2019, the film will release in Hindi, English and Tamil. Anushka is known for her roles in  Arundathi , Rudramadevi and  _Baahubali_ .
