Madhavan’s upcoming film is Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, which is based on former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan who was accused of espionage and ultimately, cleared of the charges. Madhavan and Nambi Narayanan had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi a few weeks back and showed him clips from the movie.
Maddy took to Twitter and penned - 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. (sic)
