He shared that he is not nervous or anxious about the delay in the mission, but is rather patiently waiting for it. “I think a delay is not avoidable in such things because it is about science, space travel.

“We are still planning our modules and what will be the training be like. The Star Ship is yet to be ready. We will get our schedules soon, I suppose.

Dev Joshi Opens Up On His Comeback With Baalveer
Meanwhile, Dev Joshi’s popular show Baalveer has returned with another season. However, this time, the show premiers on the OTT platform, Sony LIV. Talking about his comeback with Baalveer, Dev says that the show has been an “inseparable part” of his childhood. “Dev Joshi is Baalveer and Baalveer is Dev Joshi. I think there is no harm in that. I feel proud that only I am the Baalveer in the whole world and people are learning so much after watching me. I am, somehow, impacting their childhood in a better way,” he said.
However, the 23-year-old actor also admitted that a lot has changed in recent years, and therefore, it was apt for the makers to take the show from TV to OTT. “Of course, television has changed for so many years. When we started with Baalveer in 2012, it was quite different. Social media wasn’t popular. Now, it is a whole different scenario,” he shared. Dev stated that the decision has been taken so that people from around the world can watch the fantasy drama.
