No Chanda Mama Door Ke? Sushant Singh Rajput to step into director's shoes and make his own space film?Author : AZIndia News Desk
July 4 (AZINS) It is no revelation that actor Sushant Singh Rajput is fascinated with everything to do with space. In fact, the Kedarnath actor recently bought a piece of land on the moon, called Sea of Muscovy, which resembles the map of India. As if that wasn't enough, if reprts doing the rounds are to be believed, then Sushant is all set to direct an untitled space film.
Reportedly, the film will be co-produced by him and his business partner Varun Mathur. Sushant has a number of films in his kitty, and with this film, he is only going to add another feather to his cap. And what could have been better than starting the journey as a director with a sci-fi genre space film?
Sushant’s decision to turn director stems from the fact that he was to work in Chanda Mama Door Ke, a film based on space and the universe, but since that film does not seem to be taking off right now, Sushant is apparently set to make a film of his own, on the subject.
As quoted by Hindustan Times, a source close to the actor said, “Sushant’s passion for making a space film has got him in the shoes of a director. He will take on direction for the first time along with acting and co-producing the first ever space movie made in Bollywood.”
With projects such as Kedarnath, Drive and Son Chiriya already in the pipeline, the actor was unable to decide the dates of Chanda Mama Door Ke, however, he is determined to direct and co-produce the film.
“Sushant’s passion for the moon and space is second to none in the film industry. He has unparalleled interest to learn more about the universe, and to delve into anything that might help him understand this phenomenon further. However, Sushant will not be able to give his dates to this project (Chanda Mama Door Ke) right now. Having said that, it does not mean we won’t be making a space film. Innsaei Ventures is quite keen on making a space film and Sushant will be working on this very soon,” Varun said in a statement, quoted by the HT website.
