Rashmika Mandanna and Sidharth Malhotra starrer Mission Majnu is all set to release on Netflix. The actress will be seen portraying the role of a visually impaired character for the first time in her life. In a chat with Hindustan Times, Rashmika talks about the preparation she underwent for the role how big of a challenge it was for her.

Talking about why she took on the challenge, Rashmika said, “As an actor, I have never done that. Again, this is a retro sort of film so I had to wear those costumes and at the same time, I had to take training for the visual aspect. I wondered how I would pull this off because it was so new for me.”

Rashmika giving insight into the process of acting while not using her eyes said, “I am this person who has to speak looking in the eye. I can’t look at anyone else while having a conversation. But in the whole film, I can’t look at Tariq (Sidharth’s character). This is so hard to do, I thought. I don’t come from a background of studying acting. I have to live those moments to feel it. But this was a challenge”.

Rashmika had received special training for understanding the body language of visually impaired people. While sharing her experience, she said, “I went through a couple of weeks of taxing workshops. I used to have such bad headaches towards the end of it. They would blindfold you and throw tennis balls at you so that you had to sense where it was coming. That was really painful and gruelling.”

Mission Majnu is a spy thriller directed by Shantanu Bagchi. The film also stars Parmeet Sethi, Kumud Mishra, Rajit Kapur, Arjan Bajwa, and Sharib Hashmi. It will be released on Netflix on January 20, 2023. Rashmika also has Animal, Varisu, and Pushpa: The Rise in the pipeline, all of which are slated to release in 2023.

Rashmika Mandanna has achieved outstanding success with her pan-India film Pushpa - The Rise, and otherwise. On the work front she has Animal this year and Mission Majnu is just about to release. Rashmika will also be seen in the much-anticipated sequel of Pushpa: The Rise.
