Marathi beauty Mrunal Thakur’s name is currently lighting up social media, not just for the upcoming release of her Telugu film “Family Star” with Vijay Deverakonda, but also for a tantalizing rumor – a potential collaboration with a legendary director. At a time when she’s awaiting a hattrick moment in Telugu cinema after Sitharamam and Hi Nanna, here comes an interesting rumour.
Whispers suggest Mrunal has bagged a role in legendary director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s direction, a dream come true for many actresses. The prospect of this happening starlet starring in a Bhansali film is undeniably exciting as Bhansali is renowned for his opulent productions and the ability to elevate actresses to superstardom.
Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are just a few examples of leading ladies whose careers flourished under his direction. For Mrunal, who is yet to achieve a major Bollywood breakthrough despite films like “Jersey,” “Toofan,” and “Gumrah,” a Bhansali project could be the ultimate game-changer.
On the other hand, Mrunal’s recent Bollywood outings haven’t set the box office on fire, and Bhansali is known for his meticulous casting choices, often favoring established stars. Additionally, the director is currently engrossed in post-production for his upcoming web series “Heeramandi” for Netflix. With his focus elsewhere, the timing of the rumoured collaboration seems curious.
