From the last few weeks, reports had been doing the rounds that Sidharth Malhotra will double up as a spy for an upcoming film. Looks like the announcement of the film is finally here. Titled Mission Majnu, it would have Sidharth Malhotra play a RAW agent and he would be romancing Rashmika Madanna, for whom this would be the Bollywood debut.

The film will be directed by Shantanu Bagchi, for whom it would be the directorial debut. Sidharth Malhotra shared the poster of the film. Check it out.

Talking about it, Sidharth said in a statement, "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."

Rashmika too is super excited on her debut. She said, "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."

Director Shantanu Bagchi 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."

The film will go on floors in February 2021. Are you excited?
