The idea of Tom Cruise running through the bustling streets of Mumbai or weaving through traffic on a scooter in Delhi might sound like fan fiction—but it could soon become reality. The stars of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning have openly shared their excitement about India, and it’s clear the country holds a special place in their hearts.
“We Want to Visit India,” Say MI Stars
In a candid virtual interview with PTI, actor Simon Pegg, who plays the beloved tech wizard Benji Dunn, recalled how disappointed he was that his 2011 film Ghost Protocol only partially filmed in India. “I know Tom went out there and got some amazing photos next to the Taj Mahal,” Pegg said. “I was really disappointed not to be part of that shoot.”
His co-stars feel the same. Hayley Atwell gushed about her love for Indian food, while villain Isai Morales mentioned hopes of visiting India this summer. Their collective enthusiasm could be the spark that brings a Mission: Impossible shoot—or even a Bollywood collaboration—to Indian soil.
