There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the leading lady opposite Sushant Singh Rajput in the upcoming space film, 'Chanda Mama Door Ke'. Recently reports suggested that Bollywood actress Neha Sharma's sister, Aisha Sharma, who starred in the Ik Vaari music video with Ayushmann Khurrana will star in the film.
Aisha, who has also already done a Telugu film, was said to be almost finalised for the lead. However, in a statement issued by the makers, they have denied the reports. The official statement reads, "There is no truth to the report. The casting for the film is still underway and an official announcement will be made soon."
Talking about his reasons for signing the project, Sushant in an interview said "I have always been fascinated by outer space. As a kid too, I was interested in stars, constellations and galaxies. I always wanted to know what life in space would be like. When this film was offered to me, I was intrigued as it touches upon this particular subject."
While the actor has begun his prep for the part, Sushant will simultaneously be shooting for both, 'Chanda Mama Door Ke' and 'Kedarnath'. Directed by Sanjay Puran Singh, 'Chanda Mama Door Ke' is touted to go floors in the coming weeks.
