The light braneworld radion, stabilized via the Goldberger-Wise mechanism in the Randall-Sundrum model, can be produced copiously inside the supernova core due to plasmon-plasmon annihilations. The radion, thus produced, subsequently decays to a neutrino-antineutrino pair and takes away the energy released in the SN1987A explosion. Assuming that the supernovae cooling rate for any new physics channel(Raffelt's criterion) ε˙(γPγP⟶ϕντντ)≤7.288×10−27GeV, we find the lower bound on the radion vacuum expectation value ⟨ϕ⟩∼3~TeV for mϕ=30 MeV corresponding to the deformation parameter q=1.17 in the Tsallis statistics formalism. In the scenario with q=1, we find ⟨ϕ⟩=178 GeV for mϕ=30 MeV.
