Mrunal Thakur
Despite breaking out with a powerful performance in Love Sonia (2018), it has been an uphill journey for Mrunal Thakur in Bollywood. Not that she is complaining — she has been patient and prudent, choosing the best of the offers coming her way. Two years into the industry, the actor is now sitting pretty with five projects in her kitty, including the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Jersey. "We have a 25-day schedule lined up. I will travel to Chandigarh and Dehradun soon," she says.
If Mrunal Thakur — who had become a household name with Kumkum Bhagya — made a successful switch from television to movies, she also skilfully shifted gears from indie cinema to mainstream offerings. The coming months will see her headline Toofan opposite Farhan Akhtar, the Thadam remake with Sidharth Malhotra, Aankh Micholi with Abhimanyu Dassani, and Pippa with Ishaan Khatter and Priyanshu Painyuli.
