Actor R Madhavan revealed actors Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya didn't charge money for 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect'. Madhavan added, "Shah Rukh told me, 'Background mein koi bhi role chalega...is film ka hissa hona chahta hu (Ready to play any role in the background...want to be a part of this film)'." Madhavan further stated he thought Shah Rukh was joking.
