Actress Mrunal Thakur, who has been basking in the success of her recent Telugu film “Hi Nanna” alongside actor Nani, recently opened up about the dearth of romantic film offers in Bollywood during a candid conversation with Pinkvilla. Despite her notable performances and growing popularity, Mrunal revealed that she has not been approached for romantic roles in Hindi cinema.
In response to the question of when she might take on a romantic Hindi film, she candidly remarked, “I don’t know, I am not popular enough to get a love story yet. Am I wrong? I have to be popular to get a love story, no?” Mrunal expressed her eagerness to explore romantic movies, stating, “There are a lot of films being offered to me, but definitely not romantic movies. I would love to do that.”
The actress further shared her sentiments of exhaustion in continually proving herself to filmmakers, expressing a desire for roles to come to her organically without the need for constant efforts. She acknowledged the significance of romantic films in Indian cinema, highlighting that everyone secretly enjoys watching them despite occasional claims of disinterest.
Mrunal expressed her satisfaction with the way “Hi Nanna” and “Sita Ramam” shaped up and expressed hope to continue creating magic, possibly exploring other languages for diverse storytelling. Notably, she felt overwhelmed and honored to be dubbed the “queen of romance,” drawing parallels with Bollywood’s legendary “king of romance,” Shah Rukh Khan.
In a recent social media post, Allu Arjun, the star of the blockbuster film “Pushpa,” showered praise on Mrunal Thakur for her performance in “Hi Nanna.” Congratulating the entire team, Allu Arjun acknowledged the film’s sweetness, warmth, and heart-touching impact. He commended Nani’s effortless performance, expressing respect for green-lighting such a captivating script. Addressing Mrunal directly, he stated, “Dear Mrunal, your sweetness is haunting on the screen. It’s Beautiful like you.”
The actor concluded his message by extending congratulations to all other artists for their performances and technicians for their complementing work. He particularly praised the cinematographer and music director, highlighting the film’s wonderful presentation. Allu Arjun lauded director Shouryuv for an impressive debut, creating heart-touching and tear-jerking moments in the film. He emphasized the film’s ability to touch every family member’s heart, not just fathers, and congratulated the producers for delivering such a heartwarming film to the audience.
“Hi Nanna” is an emotional family drama that features Nani in the role of a father, with Mrunal Thakur playing his love interest. The film, released in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi languages on December 7, has garnered attention for its heart-touching narrative and impactful performances. Mrunal’s desire to explore romantic roles in Bollywood adds an interesting dimension to her career trajectory, showcasing her versatility as an actress. As fans eagerly await her upcoming projects, Mrunal Thakur continues to make waves in the film industry, leaving an indelible mark with each role she undertakes.
