The film is said to be India’s first space movie which follows the story of Indian scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) who envisioned Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM).

The film also stars Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menen as fellow ISRO scientists.

On the reception he expected of the film, Akshay had earlier said, "When we are making it, writing it, lots of people had even told us how much business it'll do: 'It'll go till Rs 60-70 crore.' Because this genre is not explored, nobody knows. It was a big risk. I had no idea where this film would go and how would people react to science. But it was a risk worth taking.”
