Sushant Singh Rajput’s next film ‘Chanda Mama Door Ke’ is a lot in the news, thanks to his visit to NASA. Sushant is going to essay the role of an astronaut in this film and hence he took a trip to NASA to learn the working of a spaceship. The pictures of him dressed as an astronaut too had gone viral on the internet. The actor also shared that it was exciting for him to first-hand experience things he had just studied about (for those who don’t know, Sushant has completed his degree in Mechanical Engineering). The other reason why this film had been making it to the headlines because of the leading lady of this film. There’s too much of mystery over the same.

Rumours were making the rounds that the makers were keen on roping in ‘Dangal’ fame Fatima Sana Shaikh for this film, but apparently the actress refused to be a part of this project. Now, whispers are being heard in tinsel town that Shraddha Kapoor is being considered for this project. (Also Read: When Sushant landed on sets of ‘Swades’ to get SRK’s autograph)

A source informed a tabloid, “The female lead had to be someone who is willing to take a risk. The film requires the actress to transform physically — she has to sport short hair. This was proving to be a deterrent for most actresses, who auditioned for the part, since they wouldn’t be able to do any other film at the same time. With ‘Haseena Parkar’, Shraddha has made it clear that she is up for experimental roles. She doesn’t have any inhibitions about chopping her hair for the film and is excited about the challenge.”

Though we await official confirmation from the makers. Nonetheless, we surely can say that Sushant is one lucky chap to get an opportunity to work with so many beautiful ladies in his every film.
