Sushant Singh Rajput starrer ‘Chanda Mama Door Ke’ which was announced about two years ago, was shelved because of its extravagant budget. But since it was Rajput’s dream project, the actor did not lose hope and decided to produce the movie himself. He made an announcement about the same.
Sushant says, “I have been intrigued by the idea of space since I was a kid. At one point, I wanted to become an astronaut. I got the telescope and I travel with it wherever I go or shoot. I’m extremely interested in the solar system, the stars, and the moon.”
Sushant is so intrigued by space that he has dedicated an entire room for it in his apartment. With an astronomy-based theme, the room has several spatial elements and an entire virtual reality set-up installed it in.
He said, “I have lived with this dream for years. I am so passionate about this topic that I have decided to make a film on my own. We have made the announcement and we are currently working on it.”
Sushant adds, “When I say yes to a project, I see the script, the character and who I will be working with. If I have three movies that I can do in eight months and I have to pick two of them, money isn’t the bigger parameter or differentiator for me. I look at what my contribution to them would be. These skills happen to be my liking. I rig my life with films and vice versa whenever I can. Of course, if it’s astrophysics or cosmology, I’d definitely be interested in being part of a space film. I do it because I like it or I want to like it more.”
