Doing My Best For Rocketry Says R Madhavan

Talented and content-driven multi-lingual Actor R Madhavan is currently busy with his forthcoming biopic based on scientist Nambi Narayanan titled Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.

Actor Madhavan will be playing the role of the scientist in the multilingual film based on Nambi’s life. And now the actor, who is known for looking charming and youthful, will be seen as an old scientist, possibly with a salt-and-pepper look. He is doing his best to get to where Nambi was, “Even if it is only look-wise,” he says.

Ranganathan Madhavan took to his social media account and released a picture, trying to attain the look of the scientist. He captioned it, “@NambiNa69586681 So very tough to get to where you are sir, even merely look look-wise...But doing my very very best...@rocketryfilm @Tricolourfilm @vijaymoolan”

Madhavan had earlier announced that he will go through a physical change for his role in the film. He will play the protagonist in all stages of his life – from 25 to 75 years.

The actor also has to gain weight for the role, and has apparently asked Aamir Khan for tips. “The prep is taking me through different age groups, shapes and sizes… He (Aamir Khan) told me it’s better to do the heavier parts first so that that I’m compelled to lose all the weight I put on” said Madhavan in his prior interview.

The film is jointly directed by Anant Mahadevan and Madhavan, the film marks the actor’s debut as a director. It is said that the actor will be seen in three different looks for the film. Rocketry: The Nambi Effect will focus on the scientist’s life and the ISRO espionage case.
