R Madhavan's Claims About ISRO Using Hindu Calendar On Mars Mission Sparks Debate on Twitter

R Madhavan aka RHTDM's Maddy has been brutally trolled on social media for his latest comment on the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Mars Mission.

Madhavan, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming biopic Rocktery: The Nambi Effect, drew flak for his remarks during the movie's promotions. The actor stated that the Hindu calendar Panchang was used by ISRO to launch a rocket into space.

Soon after, netizens, including some of Maddy's loyal fans were disappointed by his remarks and took to social media targeting him with hate comments. Some said he has turned into a 'Whatsapp Uncle' from a "Chocolate Boy," while some targeted him with even worse.

A user tweeted, ¡°Science is not everyone¡¯s cup of tea. It¡¯s ok not to know Science. But it¡¯s better to keep your bloody mouth shut when you¡¯ve no idea as to how things actually work; instead of quoting some WhatsApp stuff and making a mockery of yourself #Madhavan #Rocketry #MarsMission (sic).¡±

Another said, "Madhavan is the best example for 'he¡¯s cute until he opens his mouth'."

¡°To call actor Madhavan¡¯s claims on India¡¯s Mars Orbiter Mission ¡®stupid¡¯ will be an understatement; the amount of bullshit he blurted out in a couple of minutes, with terrifying confidence and utter disregard for facts, is of gargantuan proportions. #Madhavan #Mangalyaan (sic),¡± a third user said.

What crap is this ? Why should the rocket travel 737.56 million kms touch Jupiter's moon for the "Mars Mission" when the Earth is next to the Mars with a distance of 200.28 kms ? And Mr.Madhavan boasts of the cost effectiveness.Good joke.??#JustAsking https://t.co/IiJ73zzJxB pic.twitter.com/b77s6cM3Of

Based on the life of the former ISRO scientist and aerospace engineer, Nambi Narayan - who was accused of espionage - the film tells the tale of Narayan's life as a student at Princeton, and his career successes followed by the subsequent accusations of espionage.

The trailer also calls Nambi Narayan an 'arrogant genius' as it focuses on his journey of establishing India in the commercial satellite market.
