Sushant Singh Rajput is preparing hard for his next project Chanda Mama Door Ke. In this movie, SSR will be seen playing the role of an astronaut. He became the first Bollywood actor to get trained at NASA. The actor participated in workshops and attended various training to get to know more about the life of an astronaut, in as realistic a manner as possible.
But the makers decided to put the film on hold. According to the sources, “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 the Sushant as he has to go far to make a big blockbuster at the box office and stated, “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.”
Sushant has even designed an entire room full loaded with a telescope and expecting that the film will go on the floors. For this project, Sushant had shifted his other projects date too.
Meanwhile, other sources told that “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.”
