Streaming of Season 2 of the hit series Rocket Boys will begin on March 16. The first season of the show launched in 2022 to great acclaim.
Produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, Monisha Advani, and Madhu Bhojwani for Roy Kapur Films and Emmay Entertainment, the show is conceived by Nikkhil Advani, is directed by Abhay Pannu, and stars Nikkhil Advani. Both Dr. Vikram Sarabhai (Ishwak Singh) and Dr. Homi J. Bhabha (Jim Sarbh), who oversaw India’s nuclear program, are represented by this name.
APJ Abdul Kalam (Arjun Radhakrishnan), who helped pioneer modern Indian aerospace and nuclear technology and later became the President of India, Mrinalini Sarabhai (Regina Cassandra), a pillar in Dr. Sarabhai’s life, Jawaharlal Nehru (Rajit Kapoor), the then Indian Prime Minister who supported the scientists, are among the series’ key figures.
“The deliberate action that each of us took was to resist letting Drs. Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai’s legacies influence us. They are Homi and Vikram if we transport the viewers to the 1940s.
Let’s consider them as actual, very young men who are attempting to pursue their dreams since they are not Dr. Sarabhai and Dr. Bhabha. According to Advani, Season 1 was focused on that.
“Geopolitics are dominant in Season 2. In reality, the first nuclear test conducted by India was in 1974, and we are now retracing the contributions made by each of our protagonists. It has a wide scope, their ambition has grown enormously, and it has grown enormously. And once the CIA becomes engaged, the stakes rise, ” Advani added.
The passing of Jawaharlal Nehru is the season 2’s motivating event, according to Roy Kapur. For many individuals of our generation, or for those who are younger than us, it can be difficult to believe a country that has only recently been incorporated, is coming into his own, and knows only one leader has suddenly gone wrong. Your country is only 17 years old, making it a very new one.
“You now have a new set of political ideas, which deny our scientists access to the seat of power, leaving them in a situation where they, as well as their hopes and visions, are now exposed to a new political age,” the author said. Instruction.
“You also take a look at Indira Gandhi’s ascent and the role she played in the events between 1964 and 1974. So, the entire season has been a highly exciting, intense, dramatic, and thrilling 10 years, according to Roy Kapur of Rocket Boys 2.
Advani and Roy Kapur are leaving open the prospect of a plot extension.
“The show’s premise focused on Renaissance Men—individuals who accomplished amazing feats. It’s something Sid and I have talked about when we’ve felt weak. But when we are at our most rational, you tell us, “No, this needs to end. Donate,” urged Advani.
Added Roy Kapur: “If this specific topic is to be continued, it will undoubtedly focus on India’s space and nuclear programs. Then there are the men and women who have carried it on since 1974 till the present.
“The possibilities are unlimited if it’s a theme of two characters within a given field whose lives, professional and personal, are very intimately connected,” said the author.
Sony LIV will stream Rocket Boyz 2.
