He had also said that his wife wants him to focus on acting. “My wife wants me to focus on acting for now. I’m no Mani Ratnam to confidently make films in different genres. I don’t think I can do it. If I have to direct again, then a story should really move me,” he had added.

The film released in theatres last Friday. It was shot simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil, and English. Rocketry: The Nambi Effect was also dubbed in Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
