Mrunal Thakur Reveals She 'Cried' During 'Sita Ramam' Due To THIS Reason: I Told Dulquer Salmaan This Is My Last Film In Telugu
Mrunal Thakur made her South film debut with the Telugu film, 'Sita Ramam' (2022) where she was paired opposite Dulquer Salmaan.
In an interview with Galatta Plus, Mrunal opened up about her process and revealed that she cried and wanted to give up.
She said, "I didn’t want to be in a space where I feel handicapped because when you don’t know the language, you feel restless and I kid you not, I did have moments where I wanted to give up. I have literally cried but every drop of tear has brought praise for me''.
She added, “Earlier I felt like what was more important was what mattered was the story and language was manageable but I think if you don’t know the language it gets a bit tough and since childhood, I wanted to be a princess. So, this was the best opportunity and my preparation started from childhood.”
The 'Jersey' actor also revealed that she didn't want to do more Telugu films after 'Sita Ramam' but Dulquer had a different opinion. Praising her co-star, Mrunal called him ''God’s child'' and added, ''I am not shy to say that I am the president of Dulquer Salmaan fan club because that is how much I admire him. He is so dedicated and not afraid of the language. I remember I told him in Kashmir, ‘Sita Ramam is my first and last film in Telugu. I will not do any Telugu film’. He just looked at me and said, ‘We’ll see’. I think one of the reasons why I am today considering Tamil film or Kannada film is probably because of him.”
