Actor R Madhavan took to social media to share his look as former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan, whom he will portray in the upcoming multilingual film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.
Based on the life of former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan, the film is helmed by National Award winning director Ananth Mahadevan and Madhavan himself, and will be released in English, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil.
Narayanan, who introduced liquid fuel rocket technology while in-charge of the cryogenic rocket project, was accused in an ISRO espionage case but was later acquitted of all charges and received a compensation of Rs 50 lakh from the Kerala government this October. Madhavan will be seen playing the role of the scientist in different stages of his life, from the age of 27 to 75.
The teaser, which was released earlier, gives a glimpse of Narayanan serving prison time. Check it out here:
