R
Madhavan
is
all
set
to
make
his
directorial
debut
with
his
upcoming
sci-fi
biographical
film
Rocketry:
The
Nambi
Effect.
The
film
is
based
on
the
life
of
Nambi
Narayanan,
a
scientist
and
aerospace
engineer
and
former
official
of
the
Indian
Space
Research
Organisation,
who
was
caught
up
in
a
spy
scandal.
Recently,
R
Madhavan
took
to
social
media
to
inform
fans
that
he
and
Nambi
Narayanan
met
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
a
few
days
ago
to
discuss
the
film.
Sharing
a
picture
from
their
meeting,
the
Tanu
Weds
Manu
actor
wrote
that
he
was
touched
and
honoured
by
the
Prime
Minister's
reaction
to
the
clippings
from
the
film.
R
Madhavan
captioned
his
post
as,
"A
few
weeks
ago,
@NambiNOfficial
and
I
had
the
honour
of
calling
on
PM
@narendramodi.
We
spoke
on
the
upcoming
film
#Rocketrythefilm
and
were
touched
and
honored
by
PM's
reaction
to
the
clips
and
concern
for
Nambi
ji
&
the
wrong
done
to
him.
Thank
you
for
the
privilege
sir."
Meanwhile,
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
reshared
Madhavan's
post
on
his
Twitter
page
and
wrote,
"Happy
to
have
met
you
and
the
brilliant
Nambi
Narayanan
Ji.
This
film
covers
an
important
topic,
which
more
people
must
know
about.
Our
scientists
and
technicians
have
made
great
sacrifices
for
our
country,
glimpses
of
which
I
could
see
in
the
clips
of
Rocketry."

Speaking
about
the
film,
Madhavan
had
earlier
told
Spotboye,
"There
is
a
hunger
in
the
audience
to
know
about
the
true
heroes
of
our
country.
Nambi
Narayanan
was
a
much-misunderstood
genius
who
dedicated
his
life
to
the
country.
I
am
proud
to
have
got
the
chance
to
tell
his
story."
The
makers
of
Rocketry:
The
Nambi
Effect
recently
unveiled
the
official
trailer
of
the
film
which
was
well-received
by
the
audience
and
the
film
industry.
Bollywood
superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan
will
be
seen
in
a
cameo
role
in
the
Hindi
version
of
this
film
which
is
also
slated
to
release
in
multiple
languages.
