Sidharth Malhotra addresses 'Mission Majnu' similarities with 'Raazi'
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,January 23 2023]
Actor Sidharth Malhotra's long awaited espionage film 'Mission Majnu' was finally released on Netflix this Friday. Since it features Sidharth as a RAW operative in Pakistan living under the cover of a family man, it is being compared to Alia Bhatt's 2018 film 'Raazi'. Both the films also have some common actors which adds to the similarity.
A while ago, Sidharth was questioned about similarities between 'Mission Majnu' and 'Raazi' and he told Film Companion, It is never a bad thing if people are trying to find a reference point for a film. It (Raazi) is a good film. It doesnât feel like it (the comparison) is such an alarming thing. Yes, the elements on the outer periphery seeing the trailer might look similar.â
He added, It is in the same decade (1970s), has similar elements, but I think the experience is completely different. It is only fair to speak to people after January 20 (Mission Majnuâs release date), once they see the film⦠I think it is fair (the comparison), and we will have a better conversation when the film is out and we could discuss it. Comparison with a good film is always welcome, it is not a bad thing at all.â
