Popular actors Suniel Shetty, Anupam Kher, and Akshay Kumar used social media to encourage and congratulate the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists as well as the entire country. Akshay Kumar urged the nation to rise as ISRO prepared for its imminent Chandrayaan 3 moon mission, and Suniel Shetty wished ISRO “astronomical” success. Chandrayaan 3 is scheduled to lift off on Friday at 2:35 p.m. using a Fat Boy LVM3-M4 rocket as the vehicle for the lunar mission.

Chandrayaan 3 actor Suniel Shetty tweeted a picture with the caption, “Excitement levels hitting the MOON! Chandrayaan 3 has my virtual kudos for its forthcoming mission! I can’t wait to see India’s technological brilliance reach new heights. I wish you a smooth journey, mind-blowing discoveries, and stratospheric success! Indian with pride…
When Chandrayaan 2 was released, Akshay Kumar responded to an earlier tweet by writing, “And the time has come to rise! Good luck to all of our @isro scientists as they prepare for Chandrayaan 3. There are a billion people who are praying for you.
And the time has come to rise! Great luck to all our scientists at @isro for #Chandrayaan3. A billion hearts are praying for you. 🙏 https://t.co/Lbcp1ayRwQ

In 2019, he tweeted, “There is no science without experiment… sometimes we succeed, sometimes we learn. We are proud of and sure that Chandrayaan 2 will soon make way for Chandrayaan 3 because of the creative minds at @isro. We’ll rise up once more. The expected soft landing on the moon’s surface had not been accomplished by Chandrayaan 2.
India is prepared for its third journey to the moon, according to Anupam Kher’s tweet. I’d like to wish our ISRO scientists luck with the launch of Chandrayaan 3. “May our flag fly high,” says the proverb. Jai Hind.
India all set for its 3rd mission on the moon. Wishing our scientists at #ISRO all the very best for the launch of #Chandrayaan3 . झंडा ऊँचा रहे हमारा. जय हिन्द! 🇮🇳 @isro #Chandrayaan3 #IndiaontheMoon #ProudIndian #WorldwatchingIndia #SurgingIndia pic.twitter.com/AHSi8wZj2T

The 2019 movie Mission Mangal, in which Akshay Kumar featured, was largely based on the life of ISRO scientists who worked on India’s first Mars Orbiter Mission. As the mission director, Akshay was a part of a superb ensemble cast that also includes Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Sanjay Kapoor, Nithya Menen, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi, and others.
On the professional front, a recent trailer for Akshay Kumar’s next film OMG 2 was made public. It depicts his character with dreadlocks and a shirtless appearance while donning a look that was influenced by Lord Shiva. The movie, in which Yami Gautam and Pankaj Tripathi also appear, will debut in theatres on August 11.
On the other side, Suniel Shetty appeared in the online series Hunter this year. In addition, he will return in the much anticipated Hera Pheri 3 as Shyam.
