South actor Rashmika Mandanna has begun shooting for her Bollywood debut, Mission Majnu. Though she has featured in several Telugu films, including Dear Comrade (2019), alongside Vijay Deverakonda, Mandanna felt like a newcomer all over again. “There was nervousness and excitement,” she says about being on a Hindi film set. Shantanu Baagchi’s thriller, starring Sidharth Malhotra, is being shot in Lucknow. 

Sharing her experience in a media interaction, Rashmika Mandanna stated, "I have been fortunate to receive so much love from audiences across languages. As an actor, it is always the story of the film that I connect with, and the language of the film is never a barrier for me. I am grateful to the makers for offering me Mission Majnu which is written beautifully, and I am super excited to be part of a team that has so much passion. We are all working together to make it even more amazing. I am super excited to start my journey in Hindi cinema and to reach out to newer audiences."
