Nithya Menen, Taapsee a part of Mission Mangal

The trailer of the film, directed by Jagan Shakti, was unveiled in Mumbai on Thursday. Speaking about the film, Nithya said, “I don’t think we have exaggerated the presence of women and their contribution because it is true that in the real mission, there were many women who contributed. My aunt is a scientist and she also works in ISRO. There are many female scientists working there.” Referring to the image where some of ISRO’s women staff, in saris, are seen smiling and congratulating each other, Nithya said, “You remember that famous photo that came out after the success of the mission? It was of women celebrating the success. Our film is inspired by that story.”
