Mrunal Thakur: I’m only shining now, but I started in 2011-2012 – Exclusive

Mrunal Thakur has become a force to reckon with. She is stamping her authority as the actress to look forward to across languages, be it Hindi, Tamil or Telugu.She is so busy that Rana Daggubationce mentioned that he wants to work with her but she has no dates. In fact her work schedule is so busy that she often has to oscillate between her characters.Talking about in an exclusive interview with ETimes, Mrunal shared that she would like to have a break between her two projects.

Says Mrunal, ”I do want a gap between my two projects because I want the audience to breathe the characters that I’ve played. I would like to be faithful to the character, give that character that much time and dedication. I also want to talk about what I went through while doing a particular role or what my journey was with it or what were the best moments etc.”
She also shared that there was a time when there would be a long gap of probably a year or two between her films, and looking back she feels that was a nice phase to be in.
Elaborating about the phase where was struggling to get work, Mrunal says, “I had that phase where I had to wait for two years for someone to buy my film as we had no money for publicity and promotion. I started in 2011 -2012, but I’m only shining now. And the fact is no one recognised me then, everyone is recognising my talent suddenly now, which I feel like it’s okay. I have learned and I’m happy that filmmakers are showing that faith in me.”
She adds, “It’s a journey and you know, you have to climb that ladder one step at a time and that’s what I’ve been doing. I love languages, so I’m trying my best. I actually started first in Marathi cinema, I started in Hindi and Telugu and explored Tamil and maybe Punjabi. So you never ever know because I don’t want a language to be the barrier when it comes to an artist.“
Mrunal will next be seen in Pippa with Ishaan Khattar.
