Actors Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, and Suniel Shetty have posted encouraging and congratulatory messages for ISRO scientists and the nation as India prepares for Chandrayaan 3, its third moon mission. Sunil wished ISRO “celestial” success, but Akshay urged them to “rise.” Chandrayaan 3 will be launched by the Fat Boy LVM3-M4 rocket on Friday at 2:35 p.m. as part of the nation’s moon mission.Sunil and Akshay on Chandrayaan 3
“The excitement level is reaching the moon,” wrote Suniel Shetty alongside a picture of Chandrayaan 3 on Twitter. For its upcoming mission, Chandrayaan 3 has my virtual best wishes! I can’t wait to watch India’s technological prowess soar! I wish you a smooth journey, wonderful discoveries, and wonderful success! Indian with pride…
Anupam Kher posted on Twitter as well “India is prepared to launch its third lunar mission. Best wishes for the launch of Chandrayaan 3 to our scientists at ISRO. May our flag soar. Jeet Hind!”
In response to an earlier tweet he had made at the time of Chandrayaan 2, Akshay Kumar wrote, “And the time has come to rise! Best wishes for Chandrayaan 3 to all of our scientists at @isro. Countless people are praying for you.
There is no science without experimentation, he tweeted in 2019. We succeed and learn on occasion. We are happy and confident that Chandrayaan 2 will soon make way for Chandrayaan 3. Hats off to the brilliant minds at @isro. We’ll rise once more. Chandrayaan 2 had not been able to land softly on the moon as planned.
2019 also saw Akshay appear in the movie Mission Mangal. It was loosely based on the lives of the scientists who worked on India’s first Mars Orbiter Mission for the Indian Space Research Organization. In the movie, which also starred Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Sanjay Kapoor, Nithya Menen, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi, and many others, Akshay played the role of the mission director.
