Actor Madhavan praises Prime Minister Narendra Modi's micro-economy policy. Madhavan praised Prime Minister at the Cannes Film Festival. When digitization was introduced in India, the whole world thought it would fail. But Madhavan says those perceptions have changed. Union Minister for News and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur shared Madhavan's words on Twitter.
“When our PM @narendramodi introduced a micro-economy & digital currency there was a furor…it is going to be a disaster. In a couple of years, the whole story changed & India became one of the largest users of the micro economy in the world. This is #NewIndia - @ActorMadhavan;” wrote Anurag Thakur.
On May 19, Madhavan starrer 'Rocketry the Numbi Effect' was screened at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is based on the life of former ISRO scientist Padmabhushan Nambi Narayanan.
