Interestingly, Vidya and Akshay will be working together after almost a decade. They were last seen together in ‘Heyy Babyy’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiya’. Yesterday, sharing her look from the film, Taapsee, captioned her picture as, “Kritika Agarwal, Navigation and Communication Department, reporting on duty”.

The ‘Mission Mangal’ makers are targeting to release their film on Independence Day, 2019.

Recently the film was caught in controversy when US-based filmmaker Radha Bhardawaj, accused the makers of ‘Mission Mangal’ of copyright infringement and plagiarism. Reacting on these allegations, producer R Balki told Mid-Day, “We have taken the core of the story and added fictional characters to make it an interesting screenplay. Only ISRO can claim rights to the core story. I urge Radha to come to my office and read our script. I am certain she will find it refreshing. She hasn’t even read it, so how can she make such claims?”

Stay tuned for more such interesting updates on this film.
