Shah Rukh Khan will essay the role of main protagonist i.e. India’s first astronaut Rakesh Sharma’s role and the shooting of the film was supposed to begin in September this year. Rakesh Sharma’s biopic would be fascinating to watch, as in the genre of biopics, not many films have been made on astronauts. With SRK playing the leading role, there will be curiosity and excitement at the same time.
