SIDHARTH MALHOTRA INJURES KNEE WHILE PERFORMING STUNT
Sidharth Malhotra was performing a stunt sequence for his film Mission Majnu in Lucknow when he hit his knee on a piece of metal. According to a report in an entertainment portal, the actor was in a lot of pain after the injury while there was no blood and swelling. However, this didn't make the actor take a day off. He resumed shooting and completed his portion in three days. The report claims that since the set was created to reflect the 70s aesthetics and recreating the same again would be expensive and time-consuming, Sidharth wanted to finish his portion as scheduled.
Mission Majnu also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. She is making her Bollywood debut with the film.

It is a privilege to tell the story of our brave agents, and I am eager to revisit a mission that forever changed the relationship between India and Pakistan. I am looking forward to sharing this special film with everyone.”
