Sushant Singh Rajput looks like he's having a gala time enacting the role of an astronaut, which he'll play in
upcoming film Chanda Mama Door Ke. Producer Viki Rajani shared a picture of Sushant dressed as an astronaut training in USA-based premier aeronautics institute NASA. Viki Rajani wrote in caption that
Chanda Mama Door Ke is the first Bollywood film to "ever visit NASA for training." However, it was Shah Rukh Khan's (whom Sushant idolizes)
Swades, which was the first Bollywood film to reach NASA. SRK played the role of a researcher at NASA in the Ashutosh Gowariker-directed film, which was shot inside the NASA research center.
Back to Sushant, take a look at the

Last month, Sushant had shared a picture from NASA, in which he was
seated inside a 'life size' rocket. The actor wrote: "From a miniature Rocket to a life size one. This grown up kid will never cease to dream. My mother always wanted her 'Sushant in Space'." Result was simple - #SushantinSpace trended all day.
