Prakash Raj had not written anything specifically about the man in the cartoon but social media users took it as a mockery of former Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) chief K Sivan and slammed the actor.
Creating a new history in the space sector, ISRO on Wednesday succeeded in soft landing of LM equipped with lander ‘Vikram’ and rover ‘Pragyan’ on the south pole of the Moon.
According to Indian time, it touched the surface of the moon at around 6.04 pm. With this, India has become the first country in the world to make a soft landing on the south pole of the Moon and one of the four countries to make a soft landing on the lunar surface. (agency)
