One Twitter user shared a post on Twitter that read, "Madhavan lost his house to fund #Rocketry and directed this movie when the original director had opted due to prior commitments. On another note, his son, Vedaant, is winning medals for the nation in swimming. Salute for Maddy!"
.
R Madhavan, who is an active social media user, was quick to notice the tweet and in reply wrote, "Oh Yaar. Pls don't over patronize my sacrifice. I did not lose my house or anything. In fact all involved in Rocketry will be very proudly paying heavy Income Tax this year. Gods grace We all made very good and proud profits. I still love and live in my house."
On the work front, R Madhavan will be next seen in Dhokha – Round D Corner, directed by Kookie Gulati. The film will release in theatres on September 23.
