Sidharth Malhotra has announced his forthcoming film titled Mission Majnu. The thriller film marks the Bollywood debut of South beauty Rashmika Mandanna. In the film, Sidharth will be seen playing the role of a RAW agent and Shantanu Bagchi makes his directorial debut. Mission Majnu is written by Parveez Shaikh, Aseem Arrora and Sumit Batheja while producers Amar Butala and Garima Mehta are co-producing the film with Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies.

In a statement, Sidharth stated, "Mission Majnu is a patriotic tale inspired by true events that celebrate the hard work of RAW agents who go out of their way to protect the citizens of our country. It is a privilege to tell the story of our brave agents, and I am eager to revisit a mission that forever changed the relationship between India and Pakistan. I am looking forward to sharing this special film with everyone."

While Rashmika shared her excitement by saying, "I have been fortunate to receive so much love from audiences across languages. As an actor, 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 grateful to the makers for offering me Mission Majnu which is written beautifully, and 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."

Whereas Shantanu said, "It was primarily the script of Mission Majnu that appealed immensely to me. It is a rare and fresh story set in a genre that audiences are very excited to watch. The more I read about that era, whether it be about the ordinary citizens, the politics or the military - the more I was drawn into this world of espionage, and this mission. I am excited to bring this story to audiences across India and internationally."

Mission Majnu is going on floors in February 2021.
