Mrunal Thakur to romance Prabhas. The search for the leading lady in Prabhas' upcoming period drama "Fauji" is heating up, with Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur emerging as a strong contender.
While the makers have considered several top actresses, including Janhvi Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, director Hanu Raghavapudi seems inclined to reunite with Mrunal, his "Sita Ramam" star.
Sources suggest that Mrunal's performance as a princess in "Sita Ramam" impressed the director, highlighting her ability to deliver a nuanced performance while maintaining an elegant screen presence. This makes her a compelling choice for the director's next period epic, especially given her combination of talent and beauty.
Mrunal's career trajectory has been marked by collaborations with leading South Indian actors, including Nani in "Hi Nanna," Dulquer Salmaan in "Sita Ramam," and Vijay Deverakonda in "The Family Star." While she has been selective with her projects, she has maintained her star power and continues to be sought after for prominent roles.
Prabhas' recent collaborations have also featured Bollywood actresses, including Shruti Haasan in "Salaar 2" and Deepika Padukone in "Kalki" part two. If everything aligns, Mrunal's potential casting in "Fauji" could solidify this trend, adding another high-profile Bollywood name to his lineup.
