The director of Mission Majnu feels Rashmika Mandanna is another South Indian movie star

Rashmika Mandanna has become a national crush of India, not only for her good cute looks, but also for her acting talent. Now we will soon see her in Bollywood debuting with Mission Majnu with Sidharth Malhotra. The makers of the film have shared the reasons as to what made the actress their first and best choice for the film.

The director, Shantanu Baagchi said about the leading lady of the film, “We were looking for a formidable actress with a fresh, beautiful face when we chanced upon some of Rashmika’s work. I was especially impressed by her nuanced performance in ‘Dear Comrade’. She also has the right mixture of innocence & beauty required for the role.”

He continued, “It is a crucial role in the film that needed a sensitive interpretation of the character. I think there’s a very good chance Indian audiences will discover another movie star from the South.”

The producer Amar Butala said, “My first interaction with Rashmika was a zoom call in the midst of the lockdown when we narrated the script of Mission Majnu. It was remarkable to see her react to the script and how she picked up very nuance of her character even though we were on a video call! It’s been a pleasure working with her because she brings with her the solid experience and confidence of a big movie star, but also has the sincere energy of a newcomer! We look forward to Hindi film audiences discovering her in Mission Majnu.”

Her performance in Dear Comrade left both the audience as well as a team of producers and directors who signed her on for their film. It was Rashmika’s talent that drew attention of the filmmakers to give her a chance to act in their spy thriller Mission Majnu.
