Actor-director R. Madhavan recently posted a video on his Instagram handle showing a picturesque view from his bedroom window. The video he posted from France was captioned: “Cannes Day 1: Morning of the Main Red Carpet… View from my room. 6.30am.”
The sparkling early morning sun in the video is reminiscent of his directorial debut Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, which is about the dawn after the darkness. On May 19, the film will have its world premiere at the Marche’ du Films (also known as the Film Market)—held alongside the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
India is the “Country of Honour” at the 2022 Cannes Film Market; this is the first time this honour is being bestowed on any country. Rocketry is one of the six Indian films that will be screened at the Film Market. The film depicts the chequered life of Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer at the Indian Space Research Organisation, who had suffered—both personally and professionally—because of false allegations of espionage.
