Following his latest revelation of signing the Hindi version of Tamil hit Thadam, Aditya Roy Kapur has caused quite a commotion. Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani’s movie now has a whole new arrival to it. Mrunal Thakur, a young actress, has joined the cast as the female protagonist alongside Aditya Roy Kapur. Despite having a massive list of memorable roles under her belt, this will be the actress’s maiden time to play a tough officer. This yet-to-be-titled thriller, directed by Vardhan Ketkar and based on real-life events, will begin filming in October of this year.
Mrunal Thakur explains why she decided to join the team, “When I heard the story of the film, I instantly knew that I needed to be a part of this film. My character is very intriguing and playing a cop has been on my checklist. This will be a very distinct role from all the characters I have played till now and I am looking forward to audiences watching this one.”
Producer Bhushan Kumar explains how he was able to bring the young actress onboard, “When Murad and I were discussing the cop’s character, we instantly thought of Mrunal. She has chosen many interesting roles in her films and also stood out with her performances in them. We thought that she would be perfect for this character and we are glad she is equally excited to be a part of this.”
Producer Murad Khetani expresses his delight at the latest arrival to the team, saying, “We wanted someone who has a soft personality but could put on a strong face when needed. During my discussion with Bhushan, we instantly thought of Mrunal for the role. When we approached her with this character, she was excited and quickly came on board. We are looking forward to working with her.”
This movie is produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series as well as Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios & helmed by Vardhan Ketkar.
