Make
way
for
the
teaser
of
Akshay
Kumar's
'Mission
Mangal'
which
will
surely
make
every
Indian
proud!
A
while
back,
the
makers
of
the
film
dropped
the
first
teaser
and
it
looks
every
bit
impressive,
leaving
you
impatient
for
the
trailer.
The
teaser
begins
with
Akshay
Kumar's
character
saying,
"This
is
Rakesh
Dhawan.
Mission
Control
initiating
command
for
launch." Soon,
we
get
to
see
Vidya
Balan
commanding
the
controls.
This
is
followed
by
a
glimpse
of
other
characters
from
the
film
which
includes
Taapsee
Pannu,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Kirti
Kulhari,
Sharman
Joshi
and
Nithya
Menon.
Sharing
the
teaser,
Akshay
wrote,
"Ek
Desh.
Ek
Sapna.
Ek
Ithihaas.
The
true
story
of
India's
#SpaceMission
to
Mars
is
here.
#MissionMangalTeaser
out
now!"
Watch
the
video
here-
Speaking
about
why
he
chose
to
be
a
part
of
this
film,
the
actor
earlier
tweeted,
"#MissionMangal,
a
film
which
I
hope
will
inspire
as
much
as
entertain.
A
film
which
I've
done
specially
for
my
daughter
and
children
her
age
to
familiarise
them
with
the
incredible
true
story
of
India's
mission
to
Mars!"
In
yet
another
post,
Akshay
wrote,
"For
years,
Hollywood
has
made
movies
and
TV
shows
such
as
Star
Trek,
Star
Wars,
Gravity,
which
had
inspired
a
generation
of
inventors,
scientists
and
explorers.
I
have
always
wanted
to
be
part
of
a
movie
that
will
inspire
future
generations.
Mission
Mangal
is
that
film."
Reportedly,
the
film
is
inspired
by
India's
2013
Mars
space
programme
Mangalyaan.
A
source
close
to
the
film
was
earlier
quoted
as
saying,
"The
premise
is
based
on
true
events,
but
the
team
has
taken
some
creative
liberties
for
cinematic
purposes.
The
mission
was
successful
because
of
the
teamwork,
and
every
character
has
their
moment
of
glory
in
the
screenplay.
It
is
the
story
of
an
underdog
team
standing
tall
against
all
odds."
Helmed
by

Shakti,

Mangal
is
slated
for
a
box
office
clash

August
15,
2019.
