RDX: Antony Varghese, Shane Nigam and Neeraj Madhav to lead Nahas Hidayath’s action film

Minnal Murali and Bangalore Days producers Weekend Blockbusters’ next venture is an action film titled RDX – Robert Doney Xavier, which has three of Mollywood’s best young talents: Shane Nigam, Antony Varghese and Neeraj Madhav.

The makers took to their social media pages to make the big announcement about the film’s title and its lead cast. The movie, which will be helmed by Nahas Hidayath, is set to go on floors soon and also has KGF stunt directors Anbariv onboard for action choreography.

Nahas, who had earlier planned to helm a campus entertainer with Antony in the lead, will be making his debut with the big budget movie. The movie was titled Aaravam, and dealt with rivalry between two gangs. Shine Tom Chacko and Ann Sheetal were the other actors who were supposed to be part of the film, which was set to go on floors in 2020. It’s unclear whether RDX is the same project or a different one.

Meanwhile, during the pandemic, he had directed a short film titled Colour Padam, which had Aswin Jose and Mamitha Baiju in the lead. The video has already amassed 13 million views on YouTube.

The movie, which is expected to be an all-out action film, will be Neeraj Madhav and Shane Nigam’s first such film in the genre. In an earlier interview with us, Shane said, “I believe there is a variety in terms of the scripts being offered to me. People now are coming up with new concepts and things that we haven’t seen before in films.”

The actor also said that he is gaining confidence as an actor now, by doing roles that he has attempted before. Antony is currently shooting for Tinu Pappachan’s untitled thriller, which also has Kunchacko Boban and Arjun Ashokan as part of the cast. Meanwhile, Neeraj’s next release will be Sundari Gardens, which is expected to stream on Sony LIV in September.
