Mrunal Thakur who posed as the leading lady opposite Shahid Kapoor in the film Jersey, is excited about her prospects in Bollywood in the coming time. After playing the lead in the above film, she looks forward to playing the lead in the sports drama film Toofan.
A report in indiaglitz.com talked about how Mrunal expressed her desire to play a sportswoman in a film. We take reference from that story for our write up here.
According to a recent report in Koimoi, Mrunal said, “In India, we don’t make as many films on female athletes as much as they deserve to be told and made. It is important because, through our films, aspiring athletes gets encouragement and a whole new world opens up for them.”
The actress further added, “I would personally love to essay a sportsperson on screen. To ready for it, to train for it, it’s inspiring and also extremely challenging. Because you’re embodying a person so far off from whom you are. And it will be something for me that would give me a wholesome experience to prepare, play and to hopefully understand getting into the skin of a character that is so different from whom I’m as a person.”
Best of luck, Mrunal!
