As we all know, a Tamil-Telugu biopic on veteran actress Savithri is being made by director Nag Ashwin. The title of the Tamil version is 'Nadigaiyar Thilagam' which is actually the moniker given to Savithri.

Yesteryear superstar Gemini Ganesan played an important role in Savithri's life as the duo fell in love, entered wedloick, had kids before getting separated. While Keerthy Suresh plays the role of Savithri in the biopic, the makers have been searching a suitable actor to play the role of Gemini Ganesan.

Now the searc has come to an end. Reliable sources confirm that popular young hero Dulquer Salman will be playing the role of Gemini Ganesan in the film. Vyjayanthi Films which produces the much expected bilingual project has confirmed that the 'O Kadhal Kanmani' actor will be playing the role of Gemini Ganesan in the film.

It is worth noting that Samantha also plays an important role in the film. She apparently plays a journalist through whom the story of the legendary actress is narrated in the film.
