Mrunal Thakur made the comment while promoting her film Jersey, which is centered around cricket. She shared, "There was a time when I was madly in love with Virat Kohli. I started liking cricket because of my brother, who’s a big fan. I have fond memories of watching a match live at a stadium with him around five years ago. I remember I was wearing a blue jersey and cheering for Team India. Cut to today, I am part of a cricket-based film like Jersey. It is such a happy coincidence,” she told Etimes.
Jersey featured Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur in leading roles. This sports drama, a remake of the Telugu film of the same name, tells the story of a former cricketer who makes a comeback in his mid-30s to grant his son's heartfelt wish. The film was released in 2022.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Mrunal Thakur was last seen in Family Star, a film starring Vijay Deverakonda and supported by a talented cast including Abhinaya, Vasuki, Rohini Hattangadi, and Ravi Babu. Besides this, Mrunal made a cameo in Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD, sharing the screen with Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone. Up next, she will be seen in films like Pooja Meri Jaan and a film produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
