The Internet is abuzz with memes on R Madhavan's look for his upcoming film, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. Of course, this is one of the few times when pretty much all the memes are in positive stride. The movie is based on the life of ISRO scientist, Nambi Narayanan. And if you are up to date with your basic daily news quote, you must know that it was announced by the Indian government that Nambi will be honoured with the Padma Bhushan award this year. So, it is sort of an obvious question if the new development in the scientist's life will be added in the film based on him.

R Madhavan has answered the question for all you curious cats. A fan asked him the same and the actor responded, "Nope. Nothing changes in the script" So, that's that. You won't see Narayanan receive the Padma Bhushan award in the movie Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. Girl Impresses R Madhavan by Singing 'Sach Keh Raha Hai' In a Flight, Proves Fans Are Still Not Over 'Maddy'!

Apart from featuring in the lead role, Madhavan will also be handling directorial duties of Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. Confirming the same, Madhavan said, in a statement, "Anant Mahadevan is an extremely talented filmmaker. However, owing to unavoidable circumstances and certain pressing commitments he could no longer direct 'Rocketry - The Nambi Effect,"

"Rocketry is close to my heart for many reasons. The film is shaping up well and I can't wait to tell the incredible story of Nambi Narayanan to the world," he added. The plot of the movie revolves around the life of Nambi Narayanan, a former ISRO scientist, who spent 550 days in prison over false charges of espionage. The scientist was acquitted and arrested in 1998 as per the judgement passed by the Supreme Court
