Madhavan currently recuperating from a shoulder surgery will soon start work on Tamil, Telugu and Hindi trilungual biopic on the life of popular rocket scientist Nambi Narayanan.  The former ISRO scientist himself has shared that Maddy has spoken to him and has fully absorbed his story and that he is waiting to watch the 'Vikram Vedha' actor playing him.

The biopic based on the book by Narayanan titled "Ready to Fire : How India and I Survived the ISRO Spy Case' will be directed by Anant Mahadevan who starred in Kamal Haasan's 'Papanasam' as Asha Sarath's husband.

Nambi Narayanan's life is moves like a thriller as he was one of the most respected ISRO scientist and is credited to have formulated liquid fuel for rockets while others went for solid fuel which had many disadvantages.  However all that changed when he was arrested allegedly for spying for Maldives and suffered great mental and physical agony for four years before the Supreme Court declared him innocent.
