The film in question was ‘Jai Gangaajal’ which saw Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the lead role.

Mrunal shared that she had auditioned for the movie but unfortunately, she didn't get the part. 

However, the actress had nothing but praise for Priyanka, saying that she loves her work and admires the actress.
