The Rocket Boys second season first teaser has been released. In honour of India's 75th Independence Day, the video clip was posted online.
At least according to the teaser, this time the emphasis will be on the nuclear bomb test that was carried out in Pokhran in May 1974. As Bhabha and Sarabhai, respectively, Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh, who received plaudits for their compelling performances in the first season of the show, make a comeback.

Apart from a little boom in which a tsunami of sand is seen erupting and crashing to the ground, we also catch a glimpse of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who was in office when the first test was carried out. Playing APJ Abdul Kalam is Arjun Radhakrishnan.
According to the user comments posted below the ">promotional clip, the Rocket Boys Season 2 teaser has received favourable feedback.
While one user commented, "I didn't expect season2 to be this early!! One of the finest web series I have watched actually I'm short of words to express how much I liked the first season!! Hope that continues in season 2," another one wrote, "I have seen many movies and web series including marvel, and other Hollywood and growing Indian content too, still this is the best web series ever. Even the BGM makes me feel something special, emotional and full of pride at the very same moment."
Homi J. Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai, two pioneers, are the subject of the book Rocket Boys. The plot centres on the three pivotal decades in India's history and the country's progress toward becoming a powerful, brave, and independent country. Dr Vikram Sarabhai founded the Indian Space Programme, and Dr Homi J. Bhabha constructed India's nuclear programme with dreams in their eyes and a vision in their minds.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, who invented modern Indian aerospace and nuclear technology, Parvana Irani, a close friend of Dr Bhabha, Raza Mehdi (not a real person but a fictional character scripted as an antagonist for dramatisation), a distinguished scientist, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who supported them at every turn, are also important figures in their journey.
