Actor Nakuul Mehta, who leads the series, expressed his happiness at working on the project, calling it a "privilege to be part of a series that celebrates resilience in its quietest, most human form."
"Space Gen: Chandrayaan changed the way I look at success and failure. This story isn't about the moment the signal drops, it's about what happens the morning after, when you still have to show up, take responsibility, and start again. Playing someone who carries both the weight of a mistake and the courage to fix it was deeply grounding for me as an actor & a human. It's a privilege to be part of a series that celebrates resilience in its quietest, most human form, and I'm excited for audiences to discover this journey on JioHotstar," said Nakuul Mehta as quoted in the press note shared by JioHotstar.
Regarding Shriya Saran, the actress shared the series' significance in her life.
"This role required a different kind of strength, quiet, composed, and deeply internal. Portraying someone at the heart of such a high-stakes mission made me reflect on the emotional cost of ambition and the sacrifices that often go unseen. Space Gen: Chandrayaan isn't just about reaching the moon; it's about the people who carry that dream within them every day. It celebrates the power of coming together and the resilience required to achieve something extraordinary for our nation. I hope audiences connect with the heart of this story as much as we loved bringing it to life," said Shriya Saran.
'Space Gen: Chandrayaan' will be released on JioHotstar on January 23, 2026. (ANI)
