Sushant Singh Rajput has been prepping
hard for his upcoming film, Chanda Mama
Door Ke. In the film, SSR will be seen playing
the role of an astronaut. He shot for the film
at NASA and became the first Bollywood
actor to get trained at NASA. The talented
actor participated in workshops and various
training regimes which aimed at
acquainting him with the life of an
astronaut, in as realistic a manner as
possible.
But soon after, the makers decided to put it
on the back burner. A source told the
leading daily, "Producer Viki Rajani was
supposed to bankroll the project, but now,
it's stuck indefinitely. When the makers
planned the movie with Sushant, they didn't
understand the landing cost. Once they
drew up the budget, they were shocked."
The source added that the amount is too
high for a Sushant-starrer. "It would've cost
the makers almost Rs 67 crore, without the
additional promotional costs. The recovery
for such a film would be extremely difficult.
But even then, Viki made efforts to get
investors. Nobody wanted to finance it as it
seemed like a loss-making project.
Everything just wasn't adding up," said the
source.
Sushant, who has even designed an entire
room replete with a telescope, is still
expecting the film to go on floors. "He has
shuffled his dates because of this project. It
was supposed to begin last year in between
the Kedarnath schedule, but it never took
off. Someone needs to make him
understand that this movie isn't happening
for sure," the source added.
Another source said, "The makers may
revisit it, but definitely not with Sushant. If
they make it, they plan to cast a big star in it
either one of the senior actors or
someone from the younger generation who
is a crowd-puller. Sushant is a terrific actor,
but he's yet to prove himself as a potential
money-spinner at the box office."
What do you have to say about it?
