On Monday, the actor-turned-director posted a photo from his latest meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media. S. Narayan Nambi, a scientist and aerospace engineer at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), was also present at the conference, and his life is the focus of Madhavan’s debut directorial film, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.

“A few weeks ago, @NambiNOfficial and I had the honour of calling on PM @narendramodi. We spoke on the upcoming film #Rocketrythefilm and were touched and honoured by PM’s reaction to the clips and concern for Nambi ji & the wrong done to him. Thank you for the privilege sir,” Madhavan wrote as the caption.
PM Narendra Modi also took to his Twitter and wrote, “Happy to have met you and the brilliant Nambi Narayanan Ji. This film covers an important topic, which more people must know about. Our scientists and technicians have made great sacrifices for our country, glimpses of which I could see in the clips of Rocketry. ”
