Sushant Singh Rajput is flying high these days! And when we say he is flying high, it’s not because of his last film ‘Raabta’, that witnessed a debacle at the box office, but he is in the space for his next film. Sushant’s next is going to be ‘Chanda Mama Door Ke’ wherein he would be playing a role of an astronaut. The actor has already started preparing for it and has made his way to US Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville to learn about rockets and astronauts.

He took to Twitter to share a picture of himself holding a rocket in his hand and having the space centre as the backdrop. The caption reads, “From a miniature Rocket to a life size one , this grown up kid will never cease to Dream. My mother always wanted her ‘ Sushant in Space ‘!!” [sic]

Soon after this picture, good luck wishes started pouring in, one of which was from Kriti Sanon. The leggy lass, who recently launched the trailer of her next film ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, tweeted, “Woaahhh! Flying high literally?!! I’m sure your mom will be really proud! Keep shining Sush.. ?superrr excited to see Sushant in Space ! ??” [sic]

‘Chanda Mama Door Ke’ is directed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan and has stars like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and R Madhavan in pivotal roles. The makers are yet to finalise on the leading lady of the film. It is expected to release sometime in January 2018. (Also Read: Is Sushant Singh Rajput interested in venturing into Hollywood? He answers)
