'Nobody had seen Love Sonia in India': Mrunal Thakur
During one of the conversations, Mrunal was asked how it feels to move on when a film gets appreciated by people who've watched it but the numbers don't follow. To which, the actress said: "Love Sonia was my first film. I was really emotionally attached to that film and at that point in time, when the film had been released, nobody had seen it in India at least. When we started screening the movie in Melbourne or America or Uzbekistan and parts of Asia, the film got so much appreciation....
Further, Mrunal added: "I felt like why is it not appreciated by my own country and that's when I realized maybe people are not ready to watch that film at that point of time. Even today people recognise me for Sonia for playing Sonia. I can't move on to the matter of fact that when a good film is missed, it feels bad." Meanwhile, Love Sonia also starred Rajkummar Rao, Manoj Bajpayee, Riya Sisodiya, Freida Pinto, Demi Moore, Richa Chadda, Anupam Kher, Adil Hussain, and Sai Tamhankar.
Mrunal Thakur work front
On the work front, the Dhamaka actress will feature next in Pippa with Ishaan Khatter and Priyanshu Painyuli in the lead. She has Gumraah with Aditya Roy Kapur, which is the Hindi remake of the Tamil film, Thadam.
