We often used to come across the news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s hardcore preparations for his role as an astronaut in the film ‘Chandamama Door Ke’. But now in an unfortunate turn of events the actor has been dropped out of the Bollywood sci-fi film. Yes! You read that right.

After completing almost half the film the actor has walked out of the project and the director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan blames the reshuffling of dates for it.

In an interview to a leading tabloid Sanjay said, “Chanda Mama Door Ke is a mammoth project, something Bollywood has never witnessed on screen before. Sushant gave his sweat and soul to it but back and forth of dates was frustrating for him since his calendar is choc-o-bloc. He’s under tremendous pressure from producers to release his dates for forthcoming projects, which I completely understand.”

The director also insists that he has no hard feelings for the actor and his decision. “Sushant’s passion for space and quantum physics is second to none. He’s also a perfectionist. Whatever he does is with 100 percent of his being, be it acting or direction. I’m certain that he will be as amazing a director as he’s an actor,” he added.

The makers had already invested much in the film by getting Apollo 13’s special effects supervisor, John Palmer to craft an 11-layer spacesuit for Sushant which the actor was seen wearing when he visited NASA for the training. It’s not just us but the actor too was highly kicked about the film. He had said, “I wanted to be an astronaut but since I couldn’t figure out how to pursue it, I decided I’d be an air force pilot instead. But my mother didn’t want me to pursue these professions so I started studying engineering instead but even then I was hooked on astrophysics. But now I’m getting to live my dream with this film.”

Well, no other actor has been roped into the project as of now.
