All set for Mrunal Thakur, film realease starring Farhan Akhtar. The sports drama directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra stars Farhan as a national level boxer, with Mrunal playing an intriguing role.
The finished film is awaiting release because the producers have yet to agree on a suitable date. The film, which also stars Paresh Rawal and Darshan Kumar, was supposed to be released on May 21, but it was postponed due to the lockdown.
Mrunal says, despite her excitement for the film’s release, “the situation in the country is not that good.”
There is a lot of sensitivity out there. Even though we had finalised a release date in May, we decided to push it because the timing is critical. We believe that this is a film that deserves a lot of love and appreciation, and we can’t be inhumane by going all out to promote it in the midst of a pandemic.
The entire team prefers to wait, so no dates have been set as of yet, and the team will keep the audience updated on the release date.”
Mrunal was shown at Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30, after her 2018 Bollywood debut with Love Sonia, in 2019. She also appeared the same year with John Abraham at Batla House.
The actress looks forward to Jersey this year, too. Shahid Kapoor is a co-starring film placed in the background. While still in college, Thakur landed a lead role in the Star Plus series Mujhse Kuchh Kehti… Hai Khamoshiyaan as Gauri Bhosle opposite Manit Joura. The show ran from 2012 to 2013.
Later that year, Thakur appeared in an episode of the mystery thriller Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek – Arjun as a journalist named Sakshi Anand.
Thakur signed on to Zee TV’s soap opera Kumkum Bhagya in February 2014, and she began filming the following month.
The show, which also starred Sriti Jha, Shabir Ahluwalia, Arjit Taneja, and Supriya Shukla, premiered on April 15 and starred Thakur as Bulbul Arora, a woman who, along with her elder sister (played by Jha), assists their mother (played by Shukla). Critics in a critical reception provided the show with positive opinions. In January 2016, Thakur left the show.
