MUMBAI: Looks like Isha Koppikar’s latest project is truly sky-bound. Her new film Rocketship has taken off in style, bagging official selections at not one but two international film festivals, the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival 2026 and the Mokkho International Film Festival 2025.
For Koppikar, the recognition feels deeply personal. Having built her career without a godfather, she chose to collaborate on this film with students from Subhash Ghai’s Whistling Woods International, offering young talent a chance to shine. The partnership reflects her belief that grit and opportunity, not privilege, should power one’s journey in cinema.
Expressing her excitement, Isha Koppikar said, “This is such an honour, not just for me but for the entire team behind Rocketship. I’m especially proud of the students who worked tirelessly and are now getting the recognition they deserve. Dreams really do take flight.”
The film’s trailer, which dropped recently, drew wide praise for its emotional tone and strong performances. Rocketship, directed and written by Arjun Menon and produced by Harmanraai Singh Sehgal, tells a moving story about the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughter, a tale of strength, sacrifice and dreams that refuse to burn out.
Starring Isha Koppikar alongside young talent Amayira Sharma, the film promises to tug at heartstrings while celebrating the spirit of perseverance. With Rocketship earning critical attention on the festival circuit, it seems Koppikar’s latest venture is not just a cinematic journey, it’s a story of hope taking flight.
