Madhavan, in his interview with PTI, shared that he's also "under pressure" for that's not how he looks all the time in real life. "Now I'm a little embarrassed and under pressure because I don't look like that all the time and I am trying to see if I can be accepted again as a normal-looking guy. That was an unprecedented amount of attention from the world. I am embarrassed and thankful at the same time." (Photo: R Madhavan/Instagram)

R Madhavan has now been busy working for his next titled Rocketry: The Nambi Effect but after the Covid pandemic hit, the film got delayed. Rocketry is shot in Tamil, Hindi and English. And it will also be dubbed in Telugu and Kannada. The film is scheduled to release in the summer of 2021.
The film is a biographical drama film based on the life of Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer of the Indian Space Research Organisation who was accused of espionage. The film is written, produced and directed by Madhavan and is his directorial debut, which also stars him alongside actor Simran.
