Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna’s Mission Majnu was launched yesterday on an OTT platform. There have been a number of accusations made ever since then. One is how the storyline of the movies makes the stereotypical notion about Pakistanis extra vocal and the opposite one is the movie being in comparison with the Alia Bhatt starrer Raazi. Set within the Seventies, the movie sees Sidharth Malhotra taking part in the function of a RAW agent. He involves Pakistan to conclude a process of a lethal covert operation. It doesn’t come as a shock why Alia Bhatt’s Raazi can be in comparison with this because the storyline of Raazi was additionally a couple of Kashmiri spy named Sehmat who marries a Pakistani (Vicky Kaushal) to ship again data to India.
Commenting on the identical, as quoted on a number one leisure portal, Sidharth Malhotra shared, “It is rarely a nasty factor if individuals are looking for a reference level for a movie. It (Raazi) is an efficient movie. It does not really feel prefer it (the comparability) is such an alarming factor. Yes, the weather on the outer periphery seeing the trailer would possibly look related. It is in the identical decade (the Seventies), and has related components, however I believe the expertise is totally completely different. It is just honest to talk to individuals after January 20 (Mission Majnu’s launch date), as soon as they see the movie… I believe it’s honest (the comparability), and we can have a greater dialog when the movie is out and we may talk about it. Comparison with a very good movie is at all times welcome, it’s not a nasty factor in any respect.”
As for the stereotyping of Pakistanis within the movie, Sidharth concluded by saying, “We have consciously made an effort within the writing that it’s by no means to tackle a selected group. I lately did a movie referred to as Shershaah, which relies on India and Pakistan, and the battle that we had, which was documented. Once you see the movie, consciously we by no means actually concentrated, barring perhaps 4 scenes on the opposite facet (Pakistan), it was purely about this facet (India) and this man’s journey, (Army captain) captain Vikram Batra sacrificing his life… So there is similar aware effort (with Mission Majnu), and there’s no private animosity with anybody, these are simply documented historic factors, which we’ll by no means get full details of, so for that, you’ll want to set up presumably sure characters in an x period of time. And the pictures they’re referring to (from the trailer) are supposed to be tongue-in-cheek within the movie. So, I believe it will likely be a good dialogue as soon as everybody sees the movie… it’s by no means a couple of group or taking a dig, which digresses from the movie… a faith or a group is rarely a problem within the movie.”
