Space Gen: Chandrayaan, the upcoming original series inspired by real events from India’s space journey, is set to stream from January 23, 2026, exclusively on Jio Hotstar. The newly released trailer offers a gripping, emotional glimpse into one of India’s greatest scientific comebacks—when failure became the foundation for historic success.
Space Gen: Chandrayaan Trailer Captures Nerve, Courage & Redemption
The Space Gen: Chandrayaan trailer takes viewers straight into the tense moments following a critical setback, capturing the anxiety, silence, and determination inside India’s space program. Rather than focusing on spectacle, the series highlights the human cost of ambition—the pressure, self-doubt, and resilience that follow when everything is on the line.
A standout moment in the trailer revisits the now-viral decision where a newly appointed ISRO chief chooses to trust the same team again, triggering a powerful journey of accountability, belief, and redemption that ultimately helped India rewrite space history.

Nakuul Mehta: “This Story Changed How I See Failure”
Lead actor Nakuul Mehta described the series as deeply personal:
“This isn’t about the moment the signal drops. It’s about what happens the next morning—when you still have to show up, take responsibility, and begin again. Playing someone who carries both the weight of a mistake and the courage to fix it was grounding for me as an actor and as a human.”
Shriya Saran on the Emotional Core of the Series
Shriya Saran highlighted the quieter strength at the heart of the story:
“Space Gen: Chandrayaan isn’t just about reaching the moon. It’s about the emotional cost of ambition and the sacrifices that often go unseen. It celebrates resilience, teamwork, and the power of coming together for something greater than ourselves.”
Prakash Belawadi on Leadership & Accountability
Actor Prakash Belawadi added:
“What drew me to this series was its honesty. It doesn’t romanticise success or hide failure. It shows the true weight of leadership, accountability, and belief when doubt is overwhelming.”
