Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is going to be a milestone covered for R Madhavan with respect to transformation. In the past few films, Madhavan has literally ventured out of his comfortable chocolate boy image and done some really good roles. Be it the rough wrestling trainer in Saala Khadoos or the psychopathic killer in Telugu film Savyasachi, Madhavan has stolen the show with his performance. And Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is no different!

The actor just took to Instagram to share his look as Ex-ISRO scientist Nambi Narayan and it's all grey and gorgeous! On the same, Madhavan captioned his image, "@NambiNa69586681 So very tough to get to where you are sir, even merely look look-wise .. But doing my very very best ..@rocketryfilm @Tricolourfilm @vijaymoolan" If you were amazed by the teaser that the first look of Madhavan as the Ex-ISRO scientist is definitely going to blow your minds. Check out the look below.

In case you're not aware of this amazing news, Maddy will be debuting as a director with Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. He will be co-directing with filmmaker Anant Mahadevan and play the titular role of Nambi Narayanan. The plot of the film is about the scientist who was acquitted and arrested in 1998 by the Supreme Court over false charges of espionage. The movie depicts the 50 days of Nambi Narayanan's time in jail which resulted in India having to pay a hefty price, one that delayed the success of Mangalyan, a feat which could have been achieved 20 years ago!
