The scientists said Narayanan has been making false claims about his role in Isro, particularly regarding the development of cryogenics. This comes at a time when a biographical drama film based on his life, titled ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’, has hit the screens.
Addressing the media Wednesday, the scientists, led by founder director of LPSC at Isro Dr A E Muthunayagam said Narayanan has been making false claims over the years. Public seemed to be misled based on the input from Narayanan and the film. “We are forced to disclose certain things because Narayanan had insulted Isro and the scientists by making false claims in the movie and before the media,” he said.
Muthunayagam was accompanied by D Sasikumaran, who too was falsely implicated in the spy case, Prof EVS Namboothiri, Sreedharan Das, Dr Adi Murthy and George Koshy, who were associated with the cryogenic project and LPSC at Isro.

Narayanan had nothing to do with the development of cryogenics, which started under the leadership of Gnana Gandhi. He was not a part of the team behind cryogenics,” he said.
