Rocketry: New trailer takes us back to Nambi Narayanan life & struggles

<p>A small clip from a Television news interview is what drove R.Madhavan to take on the most challenging venture in his film career - to script, direct, produce and play the titular role in 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect'. Releasing worldwide on July 1&nbsp;in six languages, 'Rocketry' is the biopic of Indian Aerospace Scientist S. Nambi Narayanan, who led the Indian team of scientists in developing a sophisticated liquid-fuelled rocket engine, dubbed the 'Vikas Engine'. Notably, this engine is the mainstay of all operational Indian rockets, to date.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a newly released video, Madhavan and the film's creative team, producers recall how they had first heard of the Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO) scientist Nambi Narayanan, the inception of the film and also share glimpses into its making. "I remember that moment very clearly in my life, I was lying down in my couch looking at Youtube... there was a Malayalam Interview... During that Interview, I saw Mr. Nambi Narayanan's face and he had tears in his eyes... It was a defining moment which made me decide that I have to do this film" he says.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Referring to how they began work on the film, Madhavan says that he and his creative team initially focussed on the ISRO Spy case (of which Narayanan was falsely accused), the way he was tortured in prison, the involvement of Maldivian women, the accusation and what was hollow and wrong about it etc.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Later, Madhavan goes on to add that he had to delete the script that he and his team had researched and worked on for seven months, as they had completely skipped several crucial parts of Nambi's life, the phase when he studied at Princeton, USA among others. Based on his script review with Nambi, Madhavan recalls how he delved deep into the former's working relationship with Dr Vikram Sarabhai, the founder of India's Space Programme and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, a veteran aerospace scientist who went on to become the Indian President.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After having trashed the initial script that he and team had worked on for seven months, Madhavan adds that it took twice as long to get the final script ready. "It took me another one-and-a-half year to put the whole script together about this really incredible man, his unbelievable and fantastic journey about Padma Bhushan Nambi Narayanan", the actor recalls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Rocketry' is widely regarded as a special film and a breakthrough, as science-based biopics are a rarity in Indian cinema. Notably, this would also be the first film that is exclusively made based on the life of an Indian space scientist. The trailer of the film indicates that it captures the highs and lows of Narayanan’s career and his contributions to the country’s space programme and how the fabricated ‘ISRO spy case’ had an adverse, irreversible impact on Nambi's life, career, reputation and India's space programme.&nbsp;</p>

R Madhavan gives a glimpse of Day 1 at Cannes Film Festival ahead of 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' screening

<p>Veteran Indian Aerospace Scientist Nambi Narayanan is well-known for jointly developing the Viking-3 rocket engine with Indian and French Space scientists in Vernon, France. However, his French connection doesn't end there. In fact, it has only gotten bigger. The scientist's upcoming biopic 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect',&nbsp;which marks R. Madhavan's directorial debut and sees Madhavan playing the titular role, is to have its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France 2022 on May 19th. This is also happening at a time when India and France are celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations and the Cannes Film festival steps into its 75th year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Having his biopic premiere at Cannes would be a special moment for the octagenarian aerospace scientist, who spent a considerable period of his professional life in France, working to co-develop an advanced rocket engine. From 1974 to 1980, a team of 100 Indian scientists(in different batches), led by Nambi Narayanan, were in Vernon, France to jointly develop the 60-ton-thrust Viking-3 Engine, under a pact. The development of this engine was an exponential level-up for India, where the space programme was then in the very nascent stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On their return to India, the Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO)team led by Nambi Narayanan developed the Engine further, into a complete stage that could be fitted into India's then under-development PSLV rocket. While the French called their engine Viking-3, Nambi Narayanan named the Indian equivalent as 'Vikas'. Vikas means development in Sanskrit, but Nambi saw an adapted anagram - Vikram A Sarabhai, the Father of India's Space Programme and a man whom Nambi considered his guru.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A large part of India's PSLV rocket’s success and reliability is owed to its Vikas Engine, that was co-developed by ISRO and French SEP Engineers.

<p>Despite his stellar contributions to the country, the scientist was wrongly arrested by the Kerala police based on a fabricated case, at a time when he was scaling the peak of his career and aiming to exponentially increase India’s capability in launching heavy rockets.

From working in Vernon to his biopic premiering at Cannes; Nambi Narayanan's French connection

<p>Having fought a nearly three-decade-long legal battle to clear himself from a fabricated Spy Case, ISRO's veteran Rocket scientist Nambi Narayanan is gearing up for the release of his biopic. 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect', starring R&nbsp;Madhavan, is also a film that the versatile actor has directed and scripted. At a special event in the Dubai Expo, organized by India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Madhavan and Nambi Narayanan spoke about their respective journey with regards the biopic and how it was made.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Nambi Narayanan, he firmly held the notion that his story must be told raw and without cinematic effects(dance sequences in a dream) and a hero performing stunts. He felt that very few could meet the requirements of such a story, as the actor would have to understand the script about Rocketry, while also resembling Nambi Narayanan and behaving like a rocket scientist. He also had an urge that the younger generation and laymen must know about, understand Rocketry and its inception in India, despite it being a complex subject.</p>

<p>"This meant that the actor should have an ability to understand the concept. Madhavan is basically an engineer and he can understand the subject. When I tried to narrate certain incidents to him where I saved Abdul Kalam from a lab accident, while conducting a science experiment, he got that point in no time" Narayanan recalls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>R. Madhavan touched upon how he had taken up to seven months to complete the first version of the film's script, following which he approached Nambi Narayanan for seeking his approval of the script, as was agreed upon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"With seven months of research and writing, I thought I had gotten the details right. But then, after meeting Nambi sir for his approval of the script, I got to know about his education at Princeton, his rapport with Dr Abdul Kalam and Vikram Sarabhai and his work in France, Russia, Scotland and the journey just unfolded. After that conversation, I deleted that first script and then took around one and a half years to get a whole new script ready" Madhavan said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor also touched upon how it was decided to make the film in English as well, given that hardly very few Indian films are released originally in English. Madhavan said that he was discouraged from making it in English. However, he felt that the story was about a man who had been wronged and was put down because he was bringing in technological change. On having acted, directed, scripted and produced Rocketry, Madhavan admitted that he was sceptical of doing it all simultaneously in one project, but was passionate and compelled to do this film, based on the life of a veteran ISRO scientist.</p>

<p>"If you know that the truth is with you... you continue in that path... fight till the end if someone has wronged you" the 80-year-old Nambi Narayanan signs off.&nbsp;</p>

"If you know that the truth is with you... you continue in that path... fight till the end if someone has wronged you" the 80-year-old Nambi Narayanan signs off.
