'Mission Frontline is a tribute to our Jawans' grit and spirit': Rana Daggubati on his new documentary

Actor Rana Daggubati says working on the documentary, 'Mission Frontline', has given him a perspective on what goes into guarding our frontiers. The upcoming documentary highlights the life of jawans of the Border Security Force.

"India's Border Security Force - or the country's first line of defense has no holidays, no breaks, and no breathers. If it isn't for those brave-hearts always on their toes, our nation stands at risk. I feel grateful to have been able to meet them, live with them and train with them," Rana said.

"As a civilian and countryman, this experience gave me perspective on what goes into guarding our frontiers, 24/7. These Jawans are our lifeline, our guarantee to sovereignty, and they're the true heroes," Rana added.

"Going by what I experienced in Jaisalmer, Mission Frontline is a tribute to those Jawans' grit and spirit, with the intention to drive home some inspiration and gratitude for our defense forces, whose service we often take for granted," he further shared.

For the uninformed, in the episode, Rana will be seen experiencing the life of a BSF Jawan and live with them at the Murar Post, Jaisalmer. He will be seen performing several tasks, including physical training routines and running drills. Rana will also be trained to use weapons, patrolling on a camel, and riding sand scooters.

The documentary will premiere on discovery+ on January 21.

On the personal front, Rana Daggubati and his wife Miheeka Bajaj travelled to Mumbai from Hyderabad recently and were snapped while leaving the South city.

At the airport, Rana Daggubati looked dashing in a white T-Shirt and blue-washed jeans with a black buttoned shirt over them. A black cap, a black mask, and sneakers completed his look.
