'Mission Majnu' producer reveals Rashmika Mandanna trained hard to play the role of a blind woman

Rashmika Mandana and Sidhharth Malhotra starrer ‘Mission Majnu’ is ready for release this month on OTT platform Netflix.

Ahead of its January 19 release, the film’s producer revealed that actor Rashmika Mandanna worked hard and trained for more than a month to play the role of a blind woman in the movie.

In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, producer Amar Butala said, ‘Sidharth plays a tailor in the film and the sewing machine used in the 70s was very different from what we usually see nowadays. He took three months training to operate a manual sewing machine, putting thread in the needle, sewing buttons and such stuff. A tailor used to bring his old machine to Sidharth's house and tutor him everyday.’

He further went on to say, ‘Rashmika plays a blind girl in the film. She also trained for blind experience for more than two weeks in Mumbai before she took the plunge and got to playing her part in Mission Majnu, so that the character appears authentic.’

Directed by Shantanu Bagchi, the spy thriller is set in 1971 and based on the story of a RAW agent.
