"To infinity and beyond! Proud to announce a story we've worked to bring to Emmay Entertainment, Mission to Mars, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani," he tweeted.

A tweet on the account of the production company Emmay Entertainment, which is jointly owned by Nikkhil, Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani reads: "As we embark on a new voyage, we are thrilled to announce the story of the man behind India's Mission to Mars, K. Radhakrishnan, Nikkhil Advani."
