Mrunal Thakur recently opened up in an interview saying that she would like to explore the romance genre in her next film. The actress in the interview also spoke about Jersey’s failure at the box office, starring alongside Shahid Kapoor in the lead. Read below to know the scoop-
She said, “It is disappointing, no doubt. But there have been many external reasons. Lekin haan, one does tend to feel low. Anyway, we will work harder next time. One more reason can be that the South version has been available on YouTube.”
However, she added on how much she learnt while working in the movie, saying, “As an actor, it has been very fulfilling. The feedback has been overwhelming. Yesterday, I was crossing the road. A guy on a cycle stopped and shouted ‘Ma’am, your film has been good’” she said.”
She further added saying that she would like explore romance genre, in her next film, saying, “Yes, but I really have no idea what the janta wants. Maybe people want to watch larger-than-life content. But an actor does not choose films. It is really mysterious. Even romantic films are not being made; I would love to explain the genre of romance”
Apart from that, she also added on, how she has been a victim of bodyshaming, saying, “I wrote back, but not because I wanted to hit back. I responded because I want the people who fall in my category to feel comfortable. I made an attempt to make this society a ‘chilled out’ place to live in. Do these people who comment against us work on themselves? No, they don’t” She continued further and said, “It’s time that we stop looking for faults in people. The same, I think, happened with ‘Jersey’ which was actually a well-made film. Such things affect people. I know of many friends who have stopped coming out of their flats when someone just told them that they have too many pimples on their faces. I am not saying that we don’t need to work out. I am not saying that we don’t need to remain fit.” as quoted by MSN.
