R Madhavan, who acted in Decoupled, explains why he didn’t earn money for four years
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, starring R Madhavan and based on the life of renowned scientist Nambi Narayanan, had its world premiere at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Thursday. Madhavan stated in an interview that he has high expectations for the film. He also revealed that he has made almost no money in the last four years – two years prior to Covid and then again during the pandemic.
Madhavan, who also acted in the film and directed it, was in attendance at the screening, as were Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur and Nambi himself.
Madhavan told Film Companion in an interview that he has a “constant fear” of Rocketry. “I have a son,” he explained. Covid was present. During Covid, I didn’t make any money. Because I was making this film two years before Covid, I didn’t make any money. The one-off chances I took on OTT (Netflix’s Decoupled) to keep the fires burning kept me alive, but aside from that, I haven’t done any films. My most recent film was Vikram Vedha, so there’s always fear.”
Nambi is a former ISRO scientist and aerospace engineer who was falsely accused of espionage while caught up in a spy scandal. In addition to Madhavan, Thakur, and Nambi, CBFC chairperson Prasoon Joshi and Indian musical maestro AR Rahman attended the screening.
On July 1, 2022, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect will be released in theatres. The film also stars Phyllis Logan, Vincent Riotta, Ron Donaiche, Simran, Rajit Kapur, Ravi Raghavendra, Misha Ghoshal, Gulshan Grover, Karthik Kumar, and Dinesh Prabhakar.
Superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya will make cameo appearances in Madhavan’s directorial debut. It was shot in multiple languages at the same time, including Hindi, Tamil, and English, and will be released in Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil.

Aamir could be part of Kishore Kumar biopic
The source said, “The Kishore Kumar biopic is a subject close to the heart of Anurag Basu and Bhushan Kumar, and they are looking to bring it to the spectacle in the best possible way. Aamir Khan is also a big admirer of Kishore Kumar and loved the vision that Basu has to bring the life of legend to the spectacle. The filmmaker has treated it very differently, and that’s what has fascinated Aamir the most.”
Aamir is yet to choose among six films
“Aamir has taken as many as 6 films in consideration, and every film is in different stages of development. While the script of Kishore Kumar Biopic, Ujjwal Nikam Biopic, and Rajkumar Santoshi’s comedy is locked, Ghajini 2, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next, and Zoya Akhtar’s next are in the development stage. Aamir has liked all the films, and will take a call on his immediate next by the end of this year. Of the 6 films, he will do three for sure in different timelines and might let go of the other three,” added the source.
