This isn't the first time R Madhavan's photo is breaking the Internet. In 2017, the actor shared a shirtless selfie, in which he sported a much leaner look. The picture went crazy viral in no time and collected thousands of likes on Instagram. It was reported that R Madhavan lost some 11 kilos at that time. A few days after posting the selfie, R Madhavan opened up about the viralness and said that it left him 'embarrassed.' In an interview with news agency PTI, he said: "Now I'm a little embarrassed and under pressure because I don't look like that all the time and I am trying to see if I can be accepted again as a normal-looking guy. That was an unprecedented amount of attention from the world. I am embarrassed and thankful at the same time."
Here's the selfie we are talking about:
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect will mark R Madhavan's debut as a director. The film is based on the life of scientist and aerospace engineer S. Nambi Narayanan and Madhavan plays the role of Nambi in the film.
S. Nambi Narayanan was in-charge of the cryogenics division at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). He was falsely charged of espionage in 1994, which led to his arrest later. However, all the charges against him were dropped by the CBI and the Supreme Court in 1996 and 1998 respectively. He was also awarded Padma Bhushan in 2019.
On the work front, R Madhavan was last seen in Anand L Rai - directed film Zero, in which he made a special appearance. The film also featured Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
