While many expect the 'Raabta' pairing Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon to reunite again, but no it's not going to be reunion in 'Chanda Mama Door Ke'
According to Mid-day report, Shraddha Kapoor is the top contender for the lead role in the film which is yet to finalise a leading lady. According to the Mumbai daily, "The female lead has to be someone who is willing to take the risk. The film requires the actress to transform physically - she has to sport short hair. This was proving deterrent for many actresses who auditioned for the role- as they won't be able to do any other film simultaneously. With Haseena Parker role, Shraddha Kapoor has proved that she isn't scared to experiment and she doesn't have any apprehensions in chopping her hair for the role in the film."
'Chanda Mama Door Ke' could be their first film together.
The film which is expected to go on floors later this year is already making a lot of noise with pictures of Sushant Singh Rajput going viral. Dressed in white space suit, the actor looks prepared to step into the lead role in 'Chanda Mama Door Ke.' The actor is taking part in spacewalk drills,experiencing neutral buoyancy,Orion simulations and experiencing zero gravity as part of his extensive training schedule.The film which is being directed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan will also see actors Nawazuddin Siddique and R Maadhavan in the film.
The film is slated for a Republic day release next year.It is inspired from the movie 2001:A Space Odyssey. Chanda Mama Door Ke is being called as the first space adventure film of India and even Sushant is the first Indian actor to get a hands-on training at NASA. Here are some of the photos where we can see Sushant dedicatedly working on his looks and character requirements to feel and behave like a spaceman-
