Mrunal Thakur
Just having wrapped up Toofaan, Mrunal Thakur has travelled back in time to 1971 to prep for her next, Pippa. The Raja Krishna Menon-directed war drama, also starring Ishaan Khatter and Priyanshu Painyuli, is expected to go on floors soon, and attaining the physique is key for Thakur. A source from the film’s production reveals, “Mrunal will sport a lean look, for which she has adopted a rigorous training schedule. She has been doing mixed martial arts since her Toofaan days, which is helping her gain strength and build up endurance.”
Pippa is a screen adaptation of Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta’s book, The Burning Chafees, which refers to the Chaffee tanks of the Pakistan Army that were destroyed by the Indian squadron in the battle. Set against the backdrop of the Battle of Garibpur in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in November 1971, the film borrows its title from the war tanks PT-76, otherwise called Pippa.
