    'Mission Frontline': Rohit Shetty and Farhan Akhtar's day out with armed forces in Jammu and Kashmir ahead of R'Day

    Synopsis

    ​​The show has been shot at locations in and around Srinagar.

    Mission Frontline
    'Mission Frontline' will be starting from January 20 on Discovery+.
    Film-maker Rohit Shetty, who has previously hosted 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi', spend a day with the armed forces in Jammu and Kashmir to get a drift about what goes in their lives.

    The special episode will also feature actor and director Farhan Akhtar.

    With this, Shetty, who has entertained audiences with his comedic movies and action thrillers, will make his OTT debut.

    The two spent the day following the officials as they went on with their daily activities. This was a part of show 'Mission Frontline', which previously saw stars such as Rana Daggubatti and Sara Ali Khan.

    For the show, Shetty and Farhan stepped into the shoes of a Special Operations Group soldier and the Rashtriya Rifle soldier to experience how the units live and train in the difficult places they are posted at.


    The show has been shot at locations in and around Srinagar.

    Kunal Kochhar, the show's director, said Rohit Shetty is synonymous with action, so no one else could be more qualified for the job than him. "Rohit Shetty's films reflect patriotism, courage and vigour and there couldn't be a better fit than him for 'Mission Frontline'," PTI reported quoting Kochhar.


    During the shooting, Akhtar even got nostalgic about his film 'Lakshya'. While interacting with Col Bheemaiah P.S., Farhan said: "2003 is when we shot 'Lakshya' so before that I spent a lot of time in Ladakh mainly but now when I am here, I really feel very nostalgic about it. The time that we spent because you became a family and I think of them dearly today and I miss them a lot."

    'Mission Frontline' will be starting from January 20 on Discovery+.
