Is Maddy playing the role of the controversial investigative journalist S.Gurumurthy in Mani Ratnam’s Guru? Everybody knows that Mani is making a movie on the life and times of Dhirubhai Ambani the legendary business tycoon who made Reliance Industry, a household name.

The media baron, late Ramnath Goenka and his ‘Indian Express’ had done a series of exposes on Ambani and the growth of Reliance through political patronage. At that time, S.Gurumurthy had done most of the writing, exposing the Ambanis.

In Mani’s Guru, Abhishek Bachchan plays Gurukanth Desai (Dhirubhai Ambani), Mithun Chakravarthy plays Manikdas Gupta (Ramnath Goenka) and Madhavan plays Shyam Saxena (S.Gurumurthy) the crusader who works for ‘The Independent’!

In fact, Mani Ratnam had shot Mithun and Maddy’s scenes at the `Indian Express` office in Chennai to give it an authentic look.
