Sushant Singh Rajput may not have been acknowledged for his performance in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story but that isn’t stopping him from giving his best. For his next role in the movie Chanda Mama Door Ke, he will fly to Nasa for some hardcore aeronautical training. Only recently, he took lessons in flight simulation for the science fiction film.

In an interview, Sushant said, “I am playing an astronaut in the film and I just finished training on a simulator this week. Sanjay Puran Singh (the director) has given me around 15 books and eight documentaries, including For All Mankind (1989) that documents the 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 me 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.
