On Dr Homi Bhabha’s 112th Birth anniversary makers reveal an inspiring scene from Rocket Boys

Dr Homi Bhabha fondly called The Father of India’s Nuclear Programme visualised a powerful India in the field of nuclear science. He dreamt of India gaining self-reliance through progress in the field of nuclear power. Thanks to his experiments and tireless efforts, India emerged as one of the most important nuclear powers of the contemporary world.

On October 30, which happened to be the 112th birth anniversary, SonyLIV paid tributes to Bhabha’s pioneering work of putting India on the world map of nuclear science by revealing a very special scene from its upcoming original – Rocket Boys.

Starring Jim Sarbh as Homi Bhabha and Ishwak Singh as Vikram Sarabhai, the series will retell the stories of India’s brightest nuclear physicists and their significant contributions to the country. Jim Sarbh says, “I am grateful to have an opportunity to play this extraordinary character in Abhay Pannu and SonyLIV’s upcoming show Rocket Boys. Bhabha’s contributions deeply impacted India’s scientific progress, and in the process, the lives of all of us Indians. There are so many reasons to remember him. Experiencing a version of his life in this series has helped me discover the vivid, multifaceted, renaissance man that he was. Charming, exacting, inscrutable, and above all, free. I can’t wait for you to watch him.”
