Earlier,
Akshay
Kumar
had
said
in
a
statement,
"This
is
a
work
of
17
engineers
and
scientists
at
ISRO.
While
listening
to
so
many
real
stories
of
women
scientists,
I
found
it
amazing
how
they
managed
their
homes
while
being
so
incredible
at
work.
Through
this
film,
I
want
to
tell
them
that
they're
great.
This
movie
belongs
to
these
five
girls,
played
by
Vidya
Balan,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Taapsee
Pannu,
Kirti
Kulhari
and
Nithya
Menon.
This
is
their
movie."
