Mrunal Thakur South Indian movies that you should definitely watch: Sita Ramam, Hi Nanna, and more
Mrunal Thakur's South Indian movies are definitely worth watching. The actress, known for her beauty and talent, has carved a niche for herself in both Hindi and South Indian cinema. She began her acting journey with television roles, starring in soap operas like Mujhse Kuchh Khamoshiyaan, Arjun, and her memorable supporting role in Kumkum Bhagya. Introduction Starting her cinema career in Marathi films, Mrunal Thakur appeared in titles like Hello Nandan, Vitti Dandu, and Surajya. After her work in soap operas and Marathi cinema, she made her Bollywood mark with Love Sonia, followed by notable roles in Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 and Batla House. After a series of Bollywood projects, including Ghost Stories (Karan Johar's segment), Toofaan, Dhamaka, and Jersey with Shahid Kapoor, she ventured into Telugu cinema in 2022. Let's explore Mrunal Thakur's South Indian movies. Mrunal Thakur South Indian Movies 1. Sita Ramam Sita Ramam is a period romantic drama marking Mrunal Thakur's debut and breakthrough in Telugu cinema. Starring Dulquer Salmaan, the film is set in the 1960s and follows Lieutenant Ram, an orphaned army officer at the Kashmir border, who starts receiving anonymous love letters from Sita Mahalakshmi. The story unfolds as Ram searches for his mysterious lover, tracing how they eventually find each other. The movie highlights Mrunal's performance, especially her portrayal of the bittersweet journey and the subtle nuances she brings to the role. With strong performances from both leads, Sita Ramam was a critical and commercial success, making her South cinema debut a definite hit. 2. Hi Nanna Hi Nanna is a heartfelt tale of a father and daughter's lives, brimming with emotion. With powerhouse performer Nani leading the film, Mrunal Thakur shines as Yashna (also called Varsha), delivering her role with effortless grace. The story follows Mahi, a 6-year-old girl battling cystic fibrosis, who unexpectedly forms a special bond with a young woman connected to her and her father. This film adds yet another memorable character to Mrunal's versatile repertoire. 3. The Family Star The Family Star is a romantic action film starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Parasuram. In this project, Mrunal Thakur took on a different kind of role, portraying a hot-headed character that marked a departure from her usual emotional parts. Despite Mrunal's strong performance, the film failed to impress critics and audiences alike. The movie received harsh reviews and couldn't overcome its cinematic shortcomings, ultimately tanking at the box office due to poor word of mouth. 4. Kalki 2898 AD Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, features Mrunal Thakur in a cameo, marking her fourth appearance in Telugu cinema. In her brief but impactful role as Divya, a pregnant woman believed to be the prophesied Mother of Kalki, she symbolizes the hope for the transformative change the world needs. Conclusion Mrunal Thakur, having debuted in Telugu cinema, has appeared in just four South Indian films so far. With her talent gaining recognition from filmmakers, she is likely to be sought after for more regional projects in the coming years. Next, she will star as the female lead in the Telugu-Hindi bilingual Dacoit: A Love Story, opposite Adivi Sesh, stepping in after Shruti Haasan exited the project.

Mrunal Thakur is beyond grateful for being a David Dhawan heroine
Actress Mrunal Thakur is still unable to believe that she is working with the celebrated director David Dhawan in her next, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.' Spilling her excitement about the same, Mrunal dropped a post on her Instagram handle saying, 'Still pinching myself! Guyssssss I am David Dhawans Heroine! I'm beyond grateful Sir.' The 'Sita Ramam' actress also dropped a lovely photograph from Glasgow, where the shoot of the film is taking place at the moment. The image showed the diva playfully resting her head on the filmmaker's shoulders as they both smiled for the camera. On Saturday, co-star Mouni Roy also joined the 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' team for the shoot in Glasgow. Taking to social media, 'The Bhootnii' actress dropped a couple of pictures with Mrunal and Varun, along with the caption, 'So glad to be on set with my beauty @mrunalthakur and the dapper @varundvn #HJTIHH.' Backed by Ramesh Taurani under the TIPS banner, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' marks the reunion of Varun and his father. The project enjoys an ensemble cast that includes Mrunal, Mouni, Varun, Chunkey Panday, Pooja Hegde, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Ali Asgar, Kubbra Sait, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela, among others. It might be interesting to know that, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' was a hit song from David Dhawan's 1999 film 'Biwi No 1', starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen. Prior to Glasgow, Varun and Pooja took off to Rishikesh to shoot a sequence for 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai'. Over and above this, Mrunal is waiting for the release of Shaneil Deo's Dacoit', where she will be seen sharing the screen with 'Major' actor Adivi Sesh. Along with 'Dacoit', Mrunal will also play the female lead opposite Ajay Devgn in the much-anticipated sequel, 'Son of Sardaar 2'. She also has a romantic entertainer with Siddhant Chaturvedi in her kitty. Meanwhile, from buying tickets for David Dhawan's film in black to being directed by him, life has truly come full circle for actor Maniesh Paul. It might be exciting to know that years ago, Paul watched Dhawan's 'Judwaa', starring Salman Khan at Delhi's iconic Sapna Theatre, by getting tickets in black. The film left an impression on him with its comedy, music, and Dhawan's trademark masala storytelling. Like many film enthusiasts growing up in the 90s, Maniesh experienced cinema as a celebration, sometimes even going the extra mile to secure a seat for the biggest releases of the time. That memory has stayed with him — not just as a fan moment, but as a reminder of where it all began. Turning back the clock, during a recent podcast, Paul said, 'It was a very amazing feeling when David sir said me 'Action'. I was in 10th standard when 'Judwaa' released and I had purchased the ticket for the film in black at Sapna Theatre in Delhi. Indo-Asian News Service

Ravishing Rashmika
I am a huge fan of Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna. She has become national crush of India. She is one of the finest actors we have at the moment. The way she has been experimenting with her characters in every films shows her acting talent and courage to try something new. I loved her character 'Pushpa: The Rise,' which was released in 2021. Then came 'Sita Ramam.' She looked gorgeous in 'Animal.' She looked completely different in 'Chhaava.' Her chemistry with Salman Khan in 'Sikandar' failed to impress but she still has long way to go. I am sure she will keep doing good films and keep entertaining her fans. One of the most active actress on social media, Rashmika keeps her fans engaged with her viral posts. I have read somewhere that she is an avid reader, which is very good for her. I am sure books with help her to visualise a good story. Gauri Dange, By email
