Netflix India has dropped the trailer for Mission Majnu. Set in the 1970s, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra as an Indian spy who infiltrates and foils Pakistan's first nuclear programme.
Working undercover as a tailor, Tariq - actually a RAW agent named Amandeep - snoops around the 'padosi mulk', trying to locate its secretive nuclear weapons facility. He also spouts refined Urdu and catches feelings for his Pakistani wife (Rashmika Mandanna).
Will Tariq stray from his mission — designated by his boss as 'Mission Majnu' — or forge ahead in unsubtle action hero mode? We witness a train heist and some CGI-assisted airstrikes. In the end, Tariq gives his full Indian name and loudly chants, 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'! So much for being undercover.
Mission Majnu is directed by Shantanu Bagchi. Besides Sidharth and Rashmika, the cast also features Parmeet Sethi, Sharib Hashmi, Kumud Mishra, Zakir Hussain and Mir Sarwar. The film is produced by RSVP Movies and Guilty By Association. Originally conceived as a theatrical release, Mission Majnu will stream on Netflix from February 20.
