Sharing his experience of working with the handsome hunk Sidharth Malhotra, Shantanu said, "A great performance from an actor comes after lots of hard work but on screen, it has to look effortless and real. Sid achieved this in the movie. I have witnessed Sid's drive to excel in âMission Majnu'. We had lots of discussions, readings, and rehearsals - in short it was exciting to work with him. It is a wonderful feeling as a director when you see an actor going beyond your expectations."
On the other hand, sharing his experience of working with the ânational crush' Rashmika Mandanna, Shantanu said, "I always believed, as far as acting is concerned - Less is more. Rashmika is an actress who can sit on a chair, do very little, and yet move you to tears. Not an easy thing to do. It needs tremendous restraint and skill at the same time. It was an absolute joy to see her going through various workshops and bringing all her learnings to play the role of a blind girl."
