A still from the series
Filmmaker Siddharth Roy Kapur, whose project, Rocket Boys has received acclaim from critics and fans alike, shot two editions of the show successively. "The story [runs] through two seasons, and it was efficient, in terms of production, to shoot it together. It was written as one long story. Season one ends at a cliffhanger. For season two, there is enough material," says the filmmaker. While the second edition will shed light on APJ Abdul Kalam's life, Kapur adds that "we will still showcase the journeys of Homi [Bhabha] and Dr Vikram [Sarabhai's], which are yet to be completed".
Kapur says working on projects like Rocket Boys and Aranyak has been a learning experience. "The process of developing it takes long because there are more hours of content to create. In a series, you have [to have] high points at the end of every episode."
