Mrunal Wishes To Work With Dhanush

Talking to Mirchi Plus, Mrunal said, "Dhanush sir. I mean, after watching Raayan, Maari, Raanjhanaa, and Captain Miller, I am a big fan of his. Oh my god, Asuran is like…I can watch it multiple times. He’s such an institution, and it takes so much for an actor to be, you know, and to take out that performance from other actors, too."

Further, Mrunal praised Dhanush for being a 'fantastic' lyricist, singer, dancer, director, and actor. The actress also clarified why Dhanush attended the premiere of her film Son Of Sardaar 2 in Mumbai, which had originally sparked the rumours. Explaining the reason, Thakur said that Dhanush was in the city shooting for Tere Ishk Mein, and she had casually requested him to attend the screening, unaware that he would actually show up.

Work Front

Mrunal’s latest film Do Deewane Seher Mein hit theatres today, Friday, February 20. The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi in the lead role.

Mrunal will next be seen in Dacoit, alongside Adivi Sesh. The film, which was initially scheduled to release in theatres on March 19, has now been postponed.

With the revised schedule confirmed, Dacoit is set to hit cinemas on April 10, 2026. The decision was reportedly made to avoid a direct box-office clash with other major releases, including Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 and Yash’s Toxic.
