November is certainly turning out to be the greatest month of the year 2018. After getting our hands on Zero trailer and 2.0 trailer, we have another update that will be savoured by movie buffs. Akshay Kumar and R Balki are coming together again for a space film titled Mission Mangal. The movie stars a stellar cast that includes Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapse Pannu, Nithya Menon. You might have guessed it. The movie is based on real events and tells the story of the role women scientists played in India's Mars Orbiter Mission. Well, that is not the only story about to be told in Bollywood that is out of this world.

Let us not forget that Shah Rukh Khan is all also all set to star in a space-based film - the Rakesh Sharma biopic, reportedly titled Saare Jahan Se Acha. The movie was supposed to star Aamir Khan initially but those plans did not work out. Ronnie Scewvala has confirmed SRK's association with Saare Jahan Se Acha. He said, ". The film will go on floors early next year. We will make an official announcement soon.” The movie might star Bhumi Pednekar as the female lead.

Wrapping this up, we should tell you that these movies might be Bollywood's first venture into space films, but not Indian cinema's first. Jayam Ravi starrer Tamil film Tik Tik Tik was a space adventure film that released earlier this year. Even Telugu film industry will have a release in this genre before Bollywood. Ravi Teja and Aditi Rao Hyadari starrer Antariksham 9000 kmph will release on December 21.

There was a strong buzz about Sushant Singh Rajput and R Madhavan starring in a space adventure film titled Chanda Mama Door Ke, for which the actors even attended training sessions at NASA's space camp. But the movie seems to have been indefinite;y pushed for now. And how can we forget the trailer of Zero, that strongly suggests that there will be some space-related razzmatazz in the movie?
