R Madhavan says, "It's a matter of such great excitement and honour for us to be able to tell Mr. Nambi Narayanan's story to the world. We can't wait to tell it and we can't wait for you all to hear it."
Adds Mr Nambi Narayanan, "It's one of the most memorable occasions of my life. I had spent 35 years in rocketry right from making a small rocket with the respected Abdul Kalam to the monstrous mangalyaans and chandrayaans. It took me a long time and several meetings to narrate my story to them, but I was impressed with their vision, conviction and enthusiasm with which they want to create the movie and as we kept talking tears started rolling through their eyes."
Says Ananth, "When we met the phenomena - Mr Nambi Narayanan, we realised the fact that why we fail to recognize brilliant minds like him who made their country proud through their work. It was an enlightening and educating experience for all of us to hear his incredible story. We almost ended up becoming half scientist. I hope that not just India but the International market should take a look at our film and admire it."
Tricolour Films in association with Varghese Moolan Pictures, Saffron Ganesha Entertainment are the joint producers.
Rocketry - The Nambi Effect is scheduled to have a worldwide release in summer 2019.
