T.P. Sundaram with Dara Singh as a leader tried to make a space drama in 1967. The movie was also produced and directed by him. Not many know about the film and it got lost in the archives because the movie-going audiences in India were not fully aware of scientific advances in Space back then.
Telugu films never tried Space dramas. The first Telugu film Antariksham seemed a bit too serious for the subject it was dealing with.

You can always watch the movie for the drama.
