Actor Rashmika Mandanna has commenced shooting in Mumbai for her Bollywood debut film titled Mission Majnu starring Sidharth Malhotra. Talking about her first Hindi film, Rashmika told DT Next, “It is always the story of the film that I connect with, and the language of the film is never a barrier for me. I am super excited to be part of a team that has so much passion. We are all working together to make it even more amazing. I am super excited to start my journey in Hindi cinema and to reach out to newer audiences.”
Bankrolled by RSVP and Guilty By Association, Mission Majnu is reportedly inspired by real events that took place in the 1970s, and is the story of an Indian intelligence mission in Pakistan. The thriller stars Sidharth Malhotra as a RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) agent who leads the mission.
