After creating waves at Cannes 2022, R Madhavan's directorial Rocketry: The Nambi Effect has now reached the US for a 12-day promotional tour. Set to release worldwide on July 1, the film captures the spy scandal that changed Nambi Narayanan's life forever and unravels the truth behind it all. Starring Madhavan in the titular role, the film also features Phyllis Logan, Vincent Riotta and Ron Donachie, with special appearances by Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya.

During an interview with ANI, when asked about Nambi's reaction to seeing the film, Madhavan stated that he would not like to share much prior to the release of this film. He said, "Mr Narayanan was not disappointed. Anything I say about that reaction would be just presumptuous of me and I think I am fairly quiet and humble about what I have managed to achieve in the film, I would like to talk about it after the film releases, but I would tell you that Mr Narayanan was not disappointed."

The film has been shot in India, France, Canada, Georgia and Serbia. It will be out in six languages worldwide, including Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
