Actor Akshay Kumar says "Mission Mangal" is one film which he did specially for his daughter and children her age. In "Mission Mangal", a space drama, he plays a scientist.

"'Mission Mangal', a film which I hope will inspire as much as entertain. A film which I've done specially for my daughter and children her age to familiarise them with the incredible true story of India's mission to Mars," Akshay tweeted on Thursday.

A poster of the film was also shared by the actor in another tweet, where he wrote, "A story of underdogs who took India to Mars. #MissionMangal, the true story of India’s #SpaceMission to Mars, coming on Aug 15, 2019!". 

Arriving this Independence Day, it also stars Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menen, with Jagan Shakti helming the film. A post from the official Twitter page of Fox Star Hindi read: "Thank you Akshay Kumar for being a part of this incredible journey! We can't think of anyone better to inspire generations to come. Get ready for the true story of India's space mission to Mars #MissionMangal."

Mission Mangal will be clashing with Shraddha Kapoor and Prabhas starrer Saaho and John Abraham's Batla House.
