This film will be shot in space

Know that actress Yulia and director Shipenko will shoot a scene in space for a new film 'Challenge'. Yulia, who plays the role of a doctor in the film, goes to the space station to rescue a crew member who is suffering from heart ailment. These people will return with the second astronaut after staying on the space station for 12 days.

On Monday, before taking off, actress Yulia Peresild admitted that it was difficult to match the strict discipline and extremely tough training during training. It was tough mentally, physically and in all forms. But I think once we achieve the target then everything will not be so difficult and we will remember all this with just a smile. Shipenko, who has made many blockbuster films, also called his training very difficult.

Roscosmos chief responds to critics
