The film is inspired by real events set in the 1970s and is the story of India’s most courageous mission in the heart of Pakistan that forever changed the relationship between the two rival nations.
Sharing their first look today along with the film’s script, Rashmika wrote, “Ahhhh… I sooooo can’t wait to join my team. Let the mission start!!! #MissionMajnu.”
