A group of former ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) scientists on August 24 alleged that the claims made by ex-ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan in R. Madhavan’s biopic, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, and on some television channels were false and amounted to defaming the space agency.
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is a biographical drama based on the life of aerospace engineer Nambi Narayanan. The former scientists said, “We are forced to tell the public certain matters as Nambi Narayanan has been defaming ISRO and other scientists through the movie Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, and also through television channels. His claims that he is the father of many projects is false. He even claimed in the movie that he once corrected APJ Abdul Kalam, who went on to become the Indian President. That is also false.”
