#M-O-M The story of four women scientists, who take up the extraordinary challenge to successfully complete India's first mission to Mars." MOM (Mission Over Mars) will see ace actors like Sakshi Tanwar, Mona Singh, Nidhi Singh, and Palomi Ghosh playing pivotal roles in the lead along with many other brilliant actors from the industry.

Essaying the character of Moshmi, a scientist at ISA (Indian Space Agency), Mona Singh shared, "From all the roles I have essayed so far, I have never played a scientist. And to add to it I play a Bengali lady in the series for which I had to work on my dialect too. Something that was so new to me, I had no past references which could be put to use. It was quite a challenge for me which was why I wanted to take this up."

Ekta shared another poster of MOM and captioned it as, "The story of four women scientists, who take up the extraordinary challenge to successfully complete India's first mission to Mars." Ragini MMS Returns 2: TikTok Artists Sameer Mark and Diljaan Sayyed Roped In for Ekta Kapoor’s Horror-Erotica Sequel

Sakshi Tanwar, who also plays a disciplined Mission Coordinator shares, "MOM is an impressive web series completely dominant with women-centric content. I am extremely overwhelmed that ALTBalaji gave me the character of Nandita Hariprasad, which is a senior scientist at ISA (Indian Space Agency). This series completely reiterates the fact that women today can achieve the impossible and work at any position in their workspace."

ALTBalaji is all set to deliver an inspiring true events-based drama with its upcoming web series titled MOM. The show is an intriguing narrative on a quartet of brilliant women scientists who chart the journey of ISA (Indian Space Agency) Mission on Mars right from inception to execution.

Produced under the banner of Ekta's digital venture ALT Balaji, MOM is an inspiring story of four women scientists, who overcome insurmountable technical deficiencies to mount the successful Mars Orbiter Mission. Showcasing the multi-dimensional lives, they lead as wives, daughters, mothers, and space scientists, the series focuses on how the four ladies decimate all obstacles, both social and scientific, making India proud. Naagin 4: Ekta Kapoor’s Supernatural Show to Go on Air in November – Read On
