Sakshi Tanwar and Palomi Ghosh discuss why Zee5's M.O.M. finds takers despite dealing with the same subject as Mission Mangal

A month after Mission Mangal delved into Mars Orbiter Mission, the subject has got a digital adaptation in M.O.M. — zee5's Mission Over Mars. In a chat with mid-day, lead actors Sakshi Tanwar and Palomi Ghosh discuss the joys of playing scientists and why they are unperturbed by comparisons.

What made you greenlight M.O.M.?

Tanwar: Director Vinay [Waikul] showed me a documentary based on the scientists [who had worked on Mars Orbiter Mission]. Two minutes into the documentary, I knew I had to do the show. After reading the script, I was all the more convinced. Ever since Dityaa [daughter] has become a part of my life, I have become choosy. A show has to be good enough for me to leave my daughter home and head out for a shoot. Ekta [Kapoor, producer] did a smart thing by not telling me that the series was for ALTBalaji, I got to know that after I took on the project.

Ghosh: Since I have been a space enthusiast, it was an easy decision for me once they liked my audition. I had never played a geek before and it was fun doing it. My character is low on the emotional quotient and has a high IQ.

Before taking up the project, were you aware that women were instrumental in making Mangalyaan successful?

Tanwar: I remember seeing the photograph of a group of women hugging each other after Mangalayaan was launched successfully. That image had stayed with me. It was the first time there was so much media coverage for the mission.

Palomi Ghosh

With Vidya Balan and Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal having released last month, comparisons will be inevitable.

Ghosh: The core subject may be common, but the storytelling is from a different point of view. Our narrative is centred arou

Mukti Bhawan tells the story of a middle-aged man (Adil Hussain) who takes his ailing father (Lalit Behl) to the Mukti Bhawan guesthouse in Varanasi. Guests can book a room for a maximum of 15 days and wait for the inevitable. The two men find themselves in an unusual situation when they have to spend two weeks together – one is waiting for another to die even as an emotional bond that never existed before develops between father and son.

The The 25-year-old director spoke about his close brush with the Academy awards and the worldwide acclaim he has received for Mukti Bhawan.

How did the story of ‘Mukti Bhawan’ take shape?
Two years after my short film Kush, I wanted to backpack, so I travelled from Kerala to Varanasi. I had heard of some guesthouses in Varanasi where people check in to die.

That’s a great one-liner for a story.
Yes, so I was curious. That’s how I went to a few guesthouses around the city and the ghats and met the people living there. I spent time listening to their stories. It’s in one of these guesthouses that I heard a story about a man who brought his father to spend the last few days of his l
