Mrunal Thakur: I say ‘no’ rather, than do films to stay visible

The actor reflects on how she now selects films that both make an impact on audiences and challenge her craft

At a time when the film industry is increasingly caught in the churn of back-to-back releases, endless announcements, and the pressure to stay constantly visible, actor Mrunal Thakur says she has chosen to step away from the noise in her own way

The 33-year-old, who has had two film releases so far this year—Do Deewane Seher Mein and Dacoit: A Love Story—adds, “I was offered quite a few lovely films, with amazing setups, great teams, and everything in place, but I still said no, because I didn’t feel like I could really contribute much as an actor. As a performer, I want to learn and evolve, and I want to challenge myself. Doing back-to-back films just for the sake of it, which don’t help me challenge my craft, makes no sense to me.”

Mrunal says that, for her, creative satisfaction outweighs the lure of visibility.
