Sushant Singh Rajput is inclined heavily on the topic of Space science a lot in recent times. The MS Dhoni star even purchased a land on the moon called the Sea of Muscovy.

The actor has a number of films in the pipeline but the recent report suggests that he is all set to turn director. The 32-year-old was about to act in the space flick 'Chanda Mama Door Ke', a sci-fi film based on space and the universe, but since that film does not seem to be taking off right now, he decided to part ways and work on his own film. 

Speaking to a leading daily, a source close to the actor said, "Sushant's passion for making a space film has got him in the shoes of a director. He will take on the direction for the first time along with acting and co-producing the first ever space movie made in Bollywood."

The source further states, "Sushant's passion for the moon and space is second to none in the film industry. He has unparalleled interest to learn more about the universe, and to delve into anything that might help him understand this phenomenon further. However, Sushant will not be able to give his dates to this project (Chanda Mama Door Ke) right now. Having said that, it does not mean we won't be making a space film. Innsaei Ventures is quite keen on making a space film and Sushant will be working on this very soon."

It will be interesting to see Sushant wearing the director's hat.
