Citing the example of Sholay starring Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan, Sidharth Malhotra told the reporters that he was elated to be a part of the film. In the trailer, he also gets to perform an action scene on the trailer just like Sholay. “The train scene is something we’re pretty excited about as a team. It’s the first time I’ve done an action scene on a train. So, I loved it. It adds to the thrill of the film. We’re hopefully true to the genre and I hope people love it. I could ape my idol, Mr Bachchan (from Sholay).”

Speaking about the film, the actor further said, “Mission Majnu isn’t entirely an action film, but we do have sequences that are extremely thrilling. It’s a spy thriller first, but our producers, director, and writers tried to keep it a little authentic in the real world, where spies don’t come out all guns blazing. This isn’t James Bond, but there are certain situations in the film where he has to resort to certain action sequences.”

Starring Sidharth Malhotra, Rashmika Mandanna, Parmeet Sethi, Sharib Hashmi, Kumud Mishra, Zakir Hussain and Mir Sarwar, Mission Majnu is arriving on Netflix on January 20, 2023.
