Some time ago, the makers of the film dropped the teaser of the multi-starrer film in which Akshay, who essays the role of Rakesh Dhawan, is seen announcing that the spacecraft is ‘good to go for launch.’

Rakesh and Tara Shinde (Vidya) lead a team of scientists who overcome their personal challenges and failures to serve as the brains behind one of the greatest missions in history: the launch of India’s first satellite to Mars.

The movie, based on a true story of India’s mission to Mars, is about ordinary people achieving the extraordinary.

Directed by Jagan Shakti, the film is co-produced by PadMan director R Balki.

Set to hit theatres on August 15 (Independence Day) this year, the flick is set to lock horns with Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho and Batla House starring John Abraham.
