It was reported in August that Anushka Shetty will be doing a horror-thriller with Madhavan as a lead actor after the super-successful 'Bhaagamathie'. Star writer Kona Venkat is writing and co-producing this entertainer. A silent thriller aptly titled as 'Silence', it is bankrolled by People Media Factory.

Fresh details are emerging about the role that Anushka is playing in this ambitious venture. It will be an author-backed one in which the beauty will be seen displaying her knack for stunts. It's also said that she will be seen as a differently-disabled woman (visually-challenged).

Hemanth Madhukar wields the megaphone for this thriller that will be shot from March next year.

The movie will have an international star cast and is most likely to be a Telugu-Tamil bi-lingual. 'Silence' will have a Hindi release, too.
