Television queen Ekta Kapoor is slowly making her mark in the digital world. With her subscription-based video on Demand platform, ALTBalaji, she has made a grip over the Indian web sphere too. After getting rave reviews for ‘Bose: Dead/Alive’, Ekta is coming up with a new series which revolves around the Mars Orbiter Mission, the space mission that was launched in November 2013. The show will not be purely a biographical one; it will focus on three women scientists who were critical in making Mangalyaan a reality -- Seetha Somasundaram, Nandini Harinath, and Minal Rohit. A source close to the project said, "The series shows every hurdle they had to overcome to make this mission a success. It won't be a biopic, as the story will be fictionalized to some extent. Three powerhouse actors are being considered for the roles, but it's too early to give out names."

Ekta recently visited ISRO headquarters as part of the research for the project. The source further revealed, "The idea behind meeting the senior professionals at ISRO was to get a basic understanding of the technical aspects of the mission. Ekta took the first draft of the script along and specific instances from it were discussed with the head honchos there."
