After the phenomenal success of his film 'Shershah', actor Sidharth Malhotra is gearing up for his next project titled 'Mission Majnu'. He's going to play a RAW operative in the film which is based on a real life event. The film is said to revolve around the most sensitive covert operation carried out by India on foreign soil. Recently Sidharth Malhotra talked about playing a shady character in the film and described how it is different from popular spy franchises.
He said, This is a film inspired by true events. It’s about an important mission that RAW did. It is more of a thriller than action. This is the first time I am playing a spy agent but it is not a James Bond character.
Sidharth added, I am somebody who keeps manipulating people to get information out. In that manipulation, I got an opportunity to play various shades that I had not in the past. It’s a tone and world that is completely fresh. I have not done a period film before. It was a new experience.
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and directed by Shantanu Bagchi, the film also stars actress Rashmika Mandanna.
