On Wednesday, Indians across the globe were glued to television screens to witness the landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon. Like others, Hrithik Roshan also watched the live telecast of India’s historic moon mission.
He was with the ‘Fighter’ team when the telecast happened. Music composer Vishal Dadl took to Instagram and shared a video in which he along with Hrithik Roshan and director Siddharth Anand are seen beaming with joy on seeing the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon. In the clip, Dadlani revealed that they stopped work to watch Chandrayaan-3 landing on the lunar surface.

Chandrayaan-3 was launched on July 14, 2023, from Satish Dhawan Space Centre Second Launch Pad in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. On Wednesday evening, the spacecraft’s Vikram lander made the soft landing at 6.04 PM (IST), four years after the crash-landing of the Chandrayaan-2 lander. With this mission, India has now joined the US, Russia, and China as the only countries to successfully land a spacecraft on the lunar surface.
The Rs 600 crore Chandrayaan-3 mission was launched on July 14 onboard Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM-3) rocket, for a 41-day voyage to reach near the lunar south pole. The soft landing took place days after Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the Moon after spinning out of control.
