Ekta Kapoor is back with another web show titled MOM which revolves around the Mars Orbiter Mission, the space mission that was launched on November 2013. Inspired by real-life events, the show will shed light on the three women scientists who were critical in making Mangalyaan a reality - Seetha Somasundaram, Nandini Harinath and Minal Rohit.
We were the first one to inform you that actress Mona Singh will be playing one of the women scientists in the web series. And now, PeepingMoon.com has exclusively learned that Ekta’s other favorite actress too has been roped in for this big project. And, it’s none other than Sakshi Tanwar!
As per our sources, “Ekta was too keen on signing Mona and Sakshi together for one project and finally, she succeeded in it. Sakhi has been roped in to play one of the senior scientists in the series; in fact, she has already shot a few episodes of the same.”
Talking about the series, it is regarded as the most expensive web series to be made in the domain of streaming platform, which will be made at the cost of Rs 35 crores. This is not the first time when we see Ekta investing a whopping amount of money in making any web show. We also hear that 500 different sets have been created to shoot the web series.
