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.
