About Rocket Boys (Season 2) Web Series:
Rocket Boys is a Hindi biographical series created by Nikkhil Advani for SonyLIV. The Series is based on the lives of Homi J. Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai. It is directed by Abhay Pannu and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and Nikkhil Advani under the banner of Roy Kapur Films & Emmay Entertainment.
The series stars Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh along with Regina Cassandra.
The Hari Mahal Palace in Jaipur was used as a location of the “Retreat”, the Sarabhai family house. The art team met Mallika Sarabhai, daughter of Sarabhai, for detailed information about their home, culture, environment, and lifestyle.
For season 2, the Sony LIV team used another innovative jacket advertisement on India’s leading daily, The Times Of India. The advertisement recreated headlines covering the success of the nuclear test in 1974 and highlighted the milestones leading up to the success of the test.
Additionally, to promote Season 2, Sony LIV partnered with popular delivery platforms such as Swiggy India and Zepto to reach a wider audience and increase awareness about the inspiring contributions made by India’s greatest minds.
Rocket Boys Season 2 was released on 16th March 2023, exclusively on Sony LIV. The second season of Rocket Boys received positive reviews from critics as well as the audience.
