R
Madhavan
is
finally
making
his
directorial
debut
with
the
upcoming
project
Rocketry:
The
Nambi
Effect.
The
renowned
actor
himself
is
playing
the
central
character
Nambi
Narayanan
in
the
film.
However,
R
Madhavan
is
now
making
headlines
for
his
claims
on
ISRO
using
Panchang
for
Mars
Orbiter
Mission.
To
the
unversed,
the
Rocketry
actor
had
spoken
about
ISRO
and
the
Mars
Orbiter
Mission
in
a
recently
held
promotional
event
for
the
film.
In
his
speech,
R
Madhavan
claimed
that
it
was
the
Panchang
that
helped
ISRO
launch
a
rocket
into
space
and
reach
Mars'
orbit.
However,
the
actor-filmmaker
is
now
getting
brutally
trolled
for
his
claims,
and
the
netizens
have
named
him
'Whatsapp
Uncle.'
It
all
started
after
singer-activist
TM
Krishna
shared
R
Madhavan's
speech
on
social
media
and
tagged
ISRO,
asking
why
this
important
information
is
missing
from
their
website.
"Disappointed
that
@isro
has
not
published
this
vital
information
on
their
website
https://isro.gov.in/pslv-c25-mars-orbiter-mission/mars-orbiter-mission-profile
Time
to
also
consider
a
Mars
Panchangam!," wrote
Krishna
on
his
post.
He
also
translated
R
Madhavan's
Tamil
speech
into
English,
which
reads,
"In
case
you
do
not
understand
Tamil
the
gist
is
Indian
rockets
did
not
have
3
engines
(solid,
liquid
and
cryogenic)
that
helps
western
rockets
propel
themselves
into
mars
orbit.
But
since
Indians
lacked
that,
they
used
all
the
information
in
the
panchangam
(Hindu
calendar)."

has
now
officially
changed
into
a
'Whatsapp
Uncle'
from
a
'Chocolate
Boy'.
The
actor-filmmaker
is
now
being
trolled

making
