Mrunal Thakur was supposed to make her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan starrer Sultan, but was later replaced by Anushka Sharma. Now, a video of Mrunal has gone viral on Reddit in which the actress is speaking about rejecting a film, and has also mentioned that the actress, who featured in that movie, is currently not working. While the Son of Sardaar 2 actress has not mentioned anyone's name, netizens are slamming her as they think that she is talking about Anushka.

While talking about rejecting movies, in the video, Mrunal says, "So many. I said no, honestly, because I was not ready. Controversies hojayegi. It became a super hit and did help the female actress to reach there. But, then I realised if I would have done that film at that point of time I would have lost myself."

"Then she is not working at the moment, but I am, is itself a victory because I don't want instant gratification, instant recognition, instant fame because anything that comes instantly goes away instantly," she added.
