Madhavan is now awaiting the release of his next film ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’ which is scheduled to release on July 1. Marking his debut as a director, Madhavan has made the biopic film of former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan. The actor is currently in full swing for promotions of the movie and a recent tweet he posted on social media has caught the audience's attention.

Taking to Twitter, Madhavan shared a photo of him in Nambi Narayanan’s getup while shooting for the film. In the picture, the actor was sharing a PDA moment with his wife Sarita. However, this picture has actually shocked his brother-in-law, when he sent this click to him. He wrote, “When my brother-in-law freaked out when I sent him this photo of my wife. #rocketrythefilm”


With just two days away from the release, Madhavan is promoting the film through his social media. He had also recently shared a video in which actor Suriya meets Madhavan and Nambi Narayanan in the sets of the film.

‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’ stars Madhavan and Simran in the lead role and Suriya and Shah Rukh Khan are playing in cameo roles. The movie is releasing in six different languages including English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.


Actor R Madhavan has turned writer, producer and director for upcoming film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. The movie, which will release on July 1 in theatres worldwide, will also feature Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya in cameo appearances.


In an interview with indianexpress.com, Madhavan opened up about SRK’s role in Rocketry. The actor-filmmaker also talked about his bond with the Bollywood superstar.


He said, “Khan sahab is a legend, and I don’t dare say that I have a friendship with him. I am an admirer of his work and it will be too presumptuous of us to say that we are friends. We are not. I am just a huge fan of this man, and I think he is one of the nicest guys in the industry. I talked to him about this film (Rocketry) when I was doing Zero. He said, ‘You keep doing nice, different stuff. It is good to see somebody like you. You are pretty brave.’ And when I went to his birthday party, he said, ‘Maddy, I remember that script, and I want to do a role in that movie.’ I said, ‘I am so glad that you remember. Thank you.’ But he said, ‘No no, I am serious. Give me a passing role in the background, but I want to be a part of that film. I told him, ‘I am glad. You are too kind.’ My wife Sarita was laughing, and he was like, ‘I am serious. I want to do it.’ So, I was like fine, and then we left. Two days later, Sarita asked me to call Shah Rukh Khan and thank him for remembering the script. So, I sent a message to his assistant, not even to Khan sahab. She called back and said that SRK was serious and that he really wants to do the film. I told her, ‘Don’t do this. I will start having expectations and stuff.’ But she emphasised that he was serious.”
