"R Madhavan Has Taken A Huge Risk For The Film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. I Think He Was God Sent To Do This Movie” …. Says Nambi Narayanan On Khul Ke RoundTable
Nambi Narayanan, is an Indian aerospace engineer who worked at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and contributed to the development of the Vikas rocket engine. In 2019, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award by the Government of India. In 1994, he was charged with espionage and got arrested by the Kerala police and intelligence officials. The charges against him were eventually dismissed by the Central Bureau of Investigation in 1996 and the Supreme Court of India stopped the Kerala government from continuing its investigation.
The movie Rocketry: The Nambi Effect starring R Madhavan is a real-life story of Nambi Narayanan. On the Khul Ke RoundTable, Nambi Narayanan opened up about the atrocities he suffered due to charges. The session was moderated by Pallava Bagla.
Khul Ke is a new, one-of-a-kind platform, launched to empower the audience to have more informed and meaningful conversations. In recent weeks, the platform has invited celebrities and guests from various fields to discuss critical and topical issues. The platform, touted to elevate conversations, will be the only platform to allow video, audio, and text-based conversations.
About the movie, Nambi Narayanan says' " The movie Rocketery depicts the truth about my life. R Madhavan has not just acted in the movie, but he has lived as Nambi Narayanan through the course of its making. He truly nailed my mannerisms, the way I laugh, or sit. I couldn’t believe if it was Madhavan or myself on the screen. Everybody appreciated the movie for such a realistic portrayal of me and my life. Madhavan has truly played a critical role in it. I cannot explain the trouble and risk he has taken to make something like this. I regard him as a God sent man for me.
Some places in the movie are under dramatised and the torture scenes are way milder as compared to what he actually faced in real life was revealed by Nambi Narayanan.
"I’m happy that my innocence was proved not once but again in front of the Supreme Court and also the people of the country. It was a fight to prove my innocence and by god’s grace I’ve overcome that phase of my life. My wife has suffered a lot along-with me but we’re thankful that finally we have got justice.", added Nambi Narayanan.
Nambi Narayanan gave a message for the young generation, “If you believe in certain things and you think it is the right thing to do, you must continue to do that to the very end.”
