Mumbai, May 26: The much-awaited biopic on former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan titled Rocketry-The Nambi Effect will be releasing on July 1, 2022. Actor R Madhavan took to his Twitter handle to share the first motion poster of the upcoming movie.
Madhavan has made his directorial debut with the movie and will be seen playing the titular role in the film, based on the life of Nambi Narayanan - former scientist and aerospace engineer of the Indian Space Research Organisation, who was persecuted by Congress government.
In the first of its kind motion poster, Madhavan gradually appears adorning the look of the veteran scientist against the backdrop of space. The movie, which is directed jointly by Anant Mahadevan and R Madhavan and marks the latter’s debut as a director, was screened at the prestigious Cannes Films Festival in France on May 19.
The film’s official announcement occurred a year ago, and it’s been said that Madhavan underwent extensive training to get into the character’s skin. The actor will portray the scientist at various stages of his life, ranging from 27 to 75 years old.

The trailer captures the real-life story of former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan, his professional success and events that led to his imprisonment and police cases against him by the then governments. Many scenes in the trailer are hard-hitting and reminiscent of the forgotten pain of one of India’s most decorated and criticised scientists.
