The pictures shared by the 50-year-old star showed him, Nambi and PM Modi, sitting at a round table inside a conference room while maintaining social distancing due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Replying to Madhavan’s tweet, PM Modi appreciated the meeting that was held for discussing the upcoming project which is based on highlighting the great sacrifices that scientists have made for the country.

“Happy to have met you and the brilliant Nambi Narayanan Ji. This film covers an important topic, which more people must know about,” PM Modi wrote.

“Our scientists and technicians have made great sacrifices for our country, glimpses of which I could see in the clips of Rocketry,” he added.

Madhavan, who had tested positive for the novel coronavirus a few days back, was widely appreciated for his powerful performance in the nail-biting trailer of the film, which was dropped recently.
