Language is secondary, what Mrunal Thakur seeks is moving stories. “I believe in the power of storytelling,” she asserts. This pursuit has taken her from Marathi films to Bollywood, and now Telugu movies. And she is having quite a run down south. After enjoying two hits in Sita Ramam (2022) and Hi Nanna (2023), the actor is now gearing up for her third release, Family Star, with Vijay Deverakonda.
Ask her how rising through the ranks in the Telugu film industry feels, and Thakur says it has opened her up as an artiste. “Working in the south film industry has broadened my horizons as an actor. It has made me realise that while cinema is a global art form, there are nuances specific to different regions. What stands out in southern films is the meticulous attention to character development. Each character is carefully crafted with a defined arc, both on paper and on screen. The shoot times are longer, allowing for a deeper exploration of details, which I find fascinating for my own acting process,” she reflects.
