It was said that McQuarrie had narrated the action thriller’s script to Prabhas while he was shooting for Radhe Shyam in Italy. Many reputed publications reported that Prabhas has likely been roped in for the Hollywood film. Well, thanks to McQuarrie, who has set the record straight!
The seventh instalment in the 'Mission Impossible' franchise will see Tom Cruise reprise his role as special agent Ethan Hunt. The film was earlier slated to release in 2021. However, the shooting schedule was delayed owing to the pandemic outbreak in February last year. The shooting resumed in September 2021, following strict Covid-19 guidelines.
