SynopsisSet in the early 1900s, the film tracks the journey of the ace mathematician from Kumbakonam to Cambridge. It has been simultaneously shot in Tamil and English. Abhinay Vaddi plays Ramanujan in the film, which also features Bhama, Suhasini Maniratnam, Sharath Babu, Abbas, Nizhalgal Ravi, Delhi Ganesh and Y. GEE Mahendra in important roles.
The film has been shot in various locations such as Kumbakonam (where Ramanujan was brought up and attended college), Namakkal (the place of Ramanujan's family deity), Madras (where Ramanujan worked at the Port Trust Office), Cambridge and London (where Ramanujan was finally recognised as a mathematician of the highest class).
The film follows his relationships with his mother Komalatammal, his wife Janaki, and his collaborator Professor G. H. Hardy. The film will also showcase how Indian society viewed a mathematician of such great stature.
