R
Madhavan,
who
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Rocketry:
The
Nambi
Effect,
has
been
making
headlines
for
his
comments
on
Twitter.
The
actor
earlier
this
month
was
mocked
by
netizens
when
he
said
that
'panchang',
an
ancient
almanac
based
on
planetary
positions,
was
used
by
Indian
Space
Research
Organisation
(ISRO)
to
launch
the
Mars
Orbiter
Mission.
Now,
the
actor
is
being
trolled
for
his
recent
comment
on
Indian
Twitter
users.
The
actor
in
a
tweet
had
said
that
only
25
Lakh
people
in
India
are
on
Twitter.
A
social
media
user
had
shared
a
video
to
slam
Madhavan
and
wrote,
"Madhavansplaining:
This
@ActorMadhavan
is
spewing
non-stop
nonsense
to
promote
his
film
and
it
is
only
getting
more
and
more
laughable
with
every
passing
day.
Isn't
there
any
other
way
to
promote
his
film
than
this?"
Madhavan
was
quick
to
respond
to
the
tweet.
Accepting
his
mistake
he
wrote,
"Easy
bro..
you
are
a
sportsman..
I
am
exhausted
sleep
deprived
.so
said
less
than
25lakhs
instead
of
250
lakhs
..
but
the
point
was
it
still
less
that
1.7%
of
the
population
-
which
was
my
point
..
why
so
much
venom
bro..
not
good
for
your
sport
..
."
Many
fans
came
to
his
support
for
accepting
his
very
human
error
in
a
witty
tweet.
One
wrote,
"Classy
reply,
Maddy.
Yeesh.
It's
after
all
a
number,
and
the
point
still
stands," another
added,
"Great
answer."
Workwise,
Madhavan
is
waiting
for
the
release
of
his
directorial
debut
film.
Rocketry:
The
Nambi
Effect
is
a
biographical
drama
based
on
the
life
of
scientist
Nambi
Narayanan.
He
was
a
former
scientist
and
aerospace
engineer
of
ISRO,
who
was
accused
of
espionage
in
1994.
The
film
was
premiered
at
the
75th
Cannes
Film
Festival
and
received
a
standing
ovation.
Rocketry:
The
Nambi
Effect
will
be
releasing
in
several
languages
and
is
set
to
have
a
