Actor Madhavan who is currently busy promoting his upcoming film “Rocketry: The Nambi Effect”, landed in soup after making a statement about Indian Space Research Organisation using “Panchangam” for Mars Orbiter Mission. Many users of online platforms including Singer and activist TM Krishna asked ISRO why the vital information shared Maddy isn’t mentioned on their website in order to troll the actor’s claim.

A post shared by R. Madhavan (@actormaddy)

In the video which is doing rounds in social media platforms, Madhavan could be seen saying that the scientists at ISRO relied on the Panchangam (Hindu almanac) to launch the Mars mission precisely. In his long speech, Madhavan talked about the three engines that are used to launch the rocket and explained about how foreign countries lack what advantage we have through “Panchangam”.

It all started after Carnatic Singer TM Krishna shared the video, writing “Disappointed that @isro has not published this vital information on their website” and went on to translate the actor’s statement through his tweet. “R.Madhavan has officially become a whatsapp uncle from a chocolate boy” a twitter user wrote whereas Korah Abraham, a a journalist wrote “Such a disapointment to see the man, who was once a poster boy of Tamil romantic movies turn into a WhatsApp uncle”

Such a dissapointment to see the man, who was once a poster boy of Tamil romantic movies turn into a WhatsApp uncle.

In case you do not understand Tamil the gist is
Indian rockets did not have 3 engines ( solid, liquid and cryogenic) that helps western rockets propel themselves into mars orbit. But since Indian lacked that they used all the information in the panchangam (hindu almanac)

The rocket was launched, it went around the earth, moon and Jupiter’s moon and ricochet like a play thing and put into Mar’s orbit. 🥱🙏

Its impossible to correct all blunders said by @ActorMadhavan, but here are a few.
1. None attempted 30 times to send a satellite to orbit mars, 17 out of USA’s 22 mars missions were success.
2. In 1976 itself Nasa’s Viking 1 landed on Mars, Mangalyaan in 2014 is just an orbiter. https://t.co/WLQBgVJDl4

What ??? Panchang shows position of planets relative to the sun. Anyone with a reasonable knowledge of geometry can plot that

To say that this knowledge helped launch Mars Orbiter is to undermine the efforts of the scientists working on the mission !! https://t.co/ZtMYp97tlL

why would the mission touch jupiter’s moon when earth and mars are closer and jupiter is further away. Ivan modi ku kavadi thookum pothe theriyum maakana iruppanu pic.twitter.com/a4qxwnkRIB

ஒரு அளவு கதை விடலாம், அதுக்கு இப்படியா…

பஞ்சாங்கம் கணக்கு எனக் கூறி இதை சரியாக விஞ்ஞான முறையில் கணக்கிட்டு மார்ஸ் மிஷின் வெற்றிக்கு உதவிய பல விஞ்ஞானிகளின் உழைப்புக்கு அங்கீகாரம் கொடுக்காமல் அவர்களுக்கு இழைக்கப்படும் அநீதி தானே இது…

Mars Orbit Insertion has no connection with Astrology. உனக்கு யாருய்யா சொன்னா?
