Mrunal Thakur shares her opinion on the boycott trend in Bollywood; says, ‘I just feel achha kaam Karte Raho, log aayenge aur dekhenge’
Mrunal Thakur, who started her career as a Television actress and later made her Bollywood debut with the 2018 film Love Sonia, is basking in the glory of her recent successful Telugu film Sita Ramam opposite Dulquer Salmaan. The movie, which is still showing in south Indian theatres, has made more than Rs 50 crore from worldwide ticket sales. The film was released a few weeks ago amidst the call for a boycott of Bollywood films.
In an interview, Mrunal Thakur expressed her thoughts on pan-Indian films, the term that is popular throughout the business. She said, “What is a pan-Indian film first of all? It’s such a debatable topic. I am really happy to be part of this ‘Indian’ film, the fact that I have been chosen to play Sita. Today, what works is the content, audiences want to see food work, and not anything monotonous. I have been a part of Hindi and south films both. I totally understand anything you offer to the audience has to be versatile and authentic, and that’s what happens.”
As Bollywood films like Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan failed to succeed at the Indian box-office, Mrunal was also questioned about whether she believed it was appropriate to demand a boycott of Bollywood movies given the fact that the business employs millions of people. To this, she answered, “I just feel achha kaam karte raho, log aayenge aur dekhenge. I believe in good work. There’s the quote ki achha kaam karte raho, logon ka kaam hai kehna. I don’t know about others, but I am whatever I am because it is my audience. Thank you to them for being honest. People should see the film, if you like it, you like it, if you don’t like it, it’s okay.”
Meanwhile, her film Sita Ramam is set to release in Hindi on September 2.
