Rocketry: The Nambi Effect marks R Madhavan’s directorial debut, but he’s not sure if he’ll be directing another movie very soon. The actor described the process as being quite “exhausting.” The actor’s comment that certain actors don’t devote enough time to their roles was intended as a jab at Akshay Kumar, who most recently starred in Samrat Prithviraj.
On social media, a video of R Madhavan making a comparison between actors who finish their movie in 40–45 days and those who need at least a year to complete a project went viral. In this video, he revealed, “Jaise ke Pushpa mein Allu Arjun ne woh character ko throughout maintain kiya hai. Woh kamaal ke dikhte hai aur dance bhi karte hain. Lekin uss film unhone uss character ko maintain karte hue unhone romance bhi kiya aur dance bhi. Toh mujhe lagta hai ki aisa ek actor ka commitment hota hai jahan pe filmein 3-4 mahine mein nahi banti par saalon lag jaata hai.”
When actor Akshay Kumar, who is known to finish films faster, was asked, he replied, “Meri filmein khatam ho jaati hai, main kya karun. Ab ek director aata hai aur kehta hai aapka kaam khatam. Toh ab kya main usse ladun?”
About this, Anand L. Rai, the director of Akshay’s upcoming movie added, “Inhone toh bol bol ke aisa kar diya hai ki main 40-45 din mein filmein complete kar deta hoon. Par, inka hisaab gadbad hai. Inhone logon ko gumraah kiya hua hai yeh bol bolke. 40-45 din kaunse waale, jahan yeh subah aate hain and shaam ko jab tak kaam na ho tab tak rehte hain? Inko pata nahi hai ki log inko bolke leke jaate hain 40-45 din par hote hain inke 80-90 din humare paas, agar aap time ke hisaab se calculate karein toh.”
Meanwhile, ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’, Madhavan’s directorial debut which just released, is doing well in cinemas. It is a biographical drama film and the cast includes Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya.
