== Production ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Development ===&lt;br /&gt;
A film based on the espionage case of [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO) scientist [[Nambi Narayanan]] was first announced to the media in September 2012 by director [[Anant Mahadevan]]. Journalist [[C. P. Surendran]] had proposed the idea for a potential film on Narayanan to Mahadevan during June 2012. The two then met Narayanan in person to discuss the idea and seek his permission, and he agreed to serve as a consultant for the project.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;NDTV&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|author=[[Indo-Asian News Service]]|title=Mohanlal to star in Bollywood film on ISRO spy case|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/mohanlal-to-star-in-bollywood-film-on-isro-spy-case-628819|access-date=2 April 2021|work=[[NDTV]]|date=9 October 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;HT&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Jha|first=Subhash K.|title=Mohanlal to play espionage accused ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/regional-movies/mohanlal-to-play-espionage-accused-isro-scientist-nambi-narayanan/story-CioXS2W04LY0g73NgUEAGJ.html|access-date=2 April 2021|work=[[Hindustan Times]]|date=21 September 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Malayalam actor [[Mohanlal]] was cast in the role of Narayanan, while [[Resul Pookutty]], [[A. Sreekar Prasad|Sreekar Prasad]] and [[L. Subramaniam]] were finalised as the sound designer, editor and music composer for the project. Titled &#039;&#039;The Witch Hunt&#039;&#039;, the film was to be made in the [[Hindi]] and [[Malayalam]] languages.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;THBL&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|author=[[Press Trust of India]]|title=Embittered ISRO scientist&#039;s story on big screen|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/variety/embittered-isro-scientists-story-on-big-screen/article23079044.ece |access-date=2 April 2021|work=[[Business Line]]|date=27 September 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The team were in talks with several production houses but the project eventually did not take off as planned. Mahadevan later narrated the idea of the film to actor [[R. Madhavan|Madhavan]] in the mid-2010s, who helped take the film forward.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Chellappan|first=Kumar|title=True lies|url=https://www.dailypioneer.com/2013/sunday-edition/true-lies.html|access-date=2 April 2021|work=[[The Pioneer (India)|The Pioneer]]|date=8 December 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Work on &#039;&#039;Rocketry: The Nambi Effect&#039;&#039; was first reported by Madhavan in the media during April 2017, when he announced that he was set to appear in a biopic featuring the &amp;quot;extraordinary story of an unsung hero&amp;quot;, who was &amp;quot;neither an actor nor a sportsman&amp;quot;. He called the project his &amp;quot;biggest film ever&amp;quot; and stated that he had worked silently on the script of the film for a period of two years after becoming intrigued by hearing the tale of Narayanan&#039;s false espionage charge.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/r-madhavan-s-next-is-a-biopic-and-it-also-has-sushant-singh-rajput-and-nawazuddin-siddiqui/story-REBuv0iBPVxnQx8ITqqyJL.html|title=R Madhavan&#039;s next is a biopic and it also has Sushant Singh Rajput and Nawazuddin Siddiqui|date=11 April 2017|website=Hindustan Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To develop the script and to provide a more factual account of the events, Madhavan regularly met with Narayanan, garnering his approval for the film and discussing the scientist&#039;s life experiences. As a result of their conversations, Madhavan chose to alter his original script to include portions from Narayanan&#039;s entire career and his services to the Indian space programme, rather than just matters related to the espionage case and his 1994 arrest.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/r-madhavan-not-knowing-nambi-narayanan-is-a-crime/articleshow/66452014.cms|title=R.

&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2017, Madhavan confirmed that pre-production work for the film was underway and that he would portray Narayanan from the ages of 27 to 75, and that he was gaining weight to film the scenes featuring the older version of Narayanan first, after taking advice from [[Aamir Khan]]. Madhavan also announced that alongside his screenwriting and acting credits, he would also be one of the producers of the project.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/i-keep-meeting-people-who-think-its-the-end-of-the-road-for-me-madhavan/articleshow/62672775.cms|title=I keep meeting people who think it&#039;s the end of the road for me: Madhavan - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In regard to the making of the film, Mahadevan stated that he hoped to differ in the script in comparison to other biographical films, and suggested that he would not call the film a &amp;quot;biopic&amp;quot; but an &amp;quot;incisive investigation into a brilliant mind and India&#039;s ambitious space technology&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;firstpost&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Surendhar|first=MK |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/madhavan-to-star-in-director-ananth-mahadevans-untitled-biopic-about-isro-scientist-nambi-narayanan-4766401.html |title=Madhavan to star in director Ananth Mahadevan&#039;s untitled biopic about ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan- Entertainment News, Firstpost |publisher=firstpost.com |date=2018-07-18 |access-date=2019-12-01}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also added that he felt that Madhavan was the &amp;quot;only Indian actor qualified to do this part&amp;quot; owing to his background as an electronic engineer with air-force training, and because he was &amp;quot;a thinking-actor who is also well-read&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;firstpost&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Madhavan was later announced as a joint director of the film.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/regional-cinema/story/rocketry-the-nambi-effect-teaser-out-madhavan-turns-director-1379353-2018-10-31|title=Rocketry The Nambi Effect teaser out: Madhavan turns director with space thriller|first1=India Today Web Desk|last1=ChennaiOctober 31|first2=2018UPDATED|last2=October 31|first3=2018 16:17|last3=Ist|website=India Today}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
