Nambi Narayanan reveals the reason why he allowed Madhavan to make his biopic

Madhavan who won millions of hearts in the Tamil and Hindi film industry has stepped into the shoes of the director for the first time through the film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. the film which is scheduled to be released in theatre was screened at the Dubai expo 2022. Nambi Narayanan whose life the film was based on, stepped into the stage to interact with the guests.

After getting a standing ovation Nambi answered a few questions. When asked about his decision to make Madhavan narrate his story he said “I wanted someone who can really understand the essence of engineering. Of course, Madhavan is an engineer, and I felt easy to narrate my story to him. There was a particular situation, where I started explaining my attempts to save the life of APJ Abdul Kalam, and he instantly deciphered the term ‘Imbalance in Atmospheric Pressure’. So, he knew about engineering as an inherent part of his nature.”

The rocket scientist also conveyed a message to the youth and stated that one has to follow the path of truth. Even when wronged by someone, they shouldn’t give up the battle and have to fight till justice is served.

Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is a biopic based on the life of Nambi Narayanan, a former ISRO scientist, who was framed as a spy, and got acquitted years later. While Madhavan is playing the lead role of Nambi Narayanan, the other cast include Simran, Rajat Kapoor, Ravi Raghavendra, Misha Ghoshal, and Karthik Kumar among others. The film also features special appearances by Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya.
