Mumbai, July 21: Actor R Madhavan is getting all the praises after the massive success of his latest release Rocketry:The Nambi Effect which opened to largely positive reviews. The film, released on July 1 and is still running house-full in various theatres across India, US.
Madhavan ventured into direction with the biographical drama. The actor has also headlined, written, and produced Rocketry, which is a biopic on Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer of the Indian Space Research Organisation, who was falsely accused of espionage.
The actor recently took to Twitter to share a glimpse of the celebration of the film’s success with Narayanan and his family. Madhavan said, “When the Success translates to Happiness and the whole family celebrates together. The true meaning of this photo will only be realized by those who know Nambi sir’s family and what they went through. For me - Mission accomplished with gods grace."
In an interview, Madhavan spoke about Shah Rukh and Suriya’s cameos in the film. “If you ask me, ‘Are there good people in the industry?’ I can tell you with absolute surety that there are. Shah Rukh and Suriya both superstars jumped forward and did this movie without taking any money. I’m eternally indebted to them for the gesture that they showed to somebody like me because I’m a newcomer and I’m always going to be considered an outsider because of the kind of films I do and the parties that I don’t attend but that’s okay,” Madhavan said.
He added, “I’m very uncomfortable with those situations. But I have always had the best of intent shown to me from the industry- be it Kamal Haasan sir, Rajinikanth sir, or Amitabh sir. It’s just one call or message to them and they jump into tweeting about it or doing a guest appearance in my film. Amitabh sir has done a cameo in Ramji Londonwaley. So, I have been very blessed. I don’t know whether I deserve it or not in all honesty and they have nothing to gain from me but they have done it and I’m very grateful to them.”
