Actors Sharib Hashmi and Kumud Mishra will join Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna in the upcoming espionage thriller, Mission Majnu.

"I am extremely delighted and thrilled to be a part of ‘Mission Majnu'. I was overwhelmed by the script of the film. What makes it riveting for me is that it is strongly themed on patriotism and valour. I am honoured to be celebrating the hard work of RAW agents through this film," Sharib said.
