Mumbai: After tasting commercial and critical acclaim for 'M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story', Sushant Singh Rajput has quickly moved on to his next, ‘Çhanda Mama Door Ke’ where he plays an astronaut.

Sushant, who recently took lessons on flight simulation for the science fiction film, will be heading to NASA for further training.

Speaking to a leading daily, Sushant said, “I am playing an astronaut in the film and I just finished training on a simulator this week. Sanjay has given me around 15 books and eight documentaries, including For All Mankind (1989) that documents National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Apollo mission, to understand the life of astronauts.”

He further added, “Sanjay has contacts in NASA. I will spend almost a month with them to understand an astronaut’s body language and mindset. Sanjay has already given a uniform with a badge. I wear it almost every day. I can’t wait to work on the film.”

'Chanda Mama Door Ke' will also star Nawazuddin Siddiqui in a pivotal role. The movie is also said to have south superstar Mohanlal in a cameo.
