Swades(2004) film starring Shah Rukh Khan
as a project manager at NASA may have not done well at the box office but the project
that Shahrukh Khan was working while playing Mohan Bhargav found success at the
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). While we saw Shahrukh KHan
discuss GPM in the film, little did we know that the project will find
its manifestation years after.
NASA recently launched the Global
Precipitation Measurement project that the film talked about 10 years
back. Finding happiness in this news was the film’s director Ashutosh
Gowariker.The director had researched well enough about the project and
after submitting the film script was permitted to use it in the film by
NASA. It was infact the first Indian film to be shot inside NASA,
claimed sources. Though Gowarikar and Khan were both unavailable to
comment on this, it must be a moment of joy that their film’s subject
could finally become a reality!
