Mrunal Thakur Opens Up On How None Watched Her Debut Movie, Love Sonia, Upon Its Release

Sita Ramam, which was Mrunal Thakur's debut in the Telugu industry, has been a huge success. Hanu Raghavapudi served as the director of the movie, which also featured Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role. On August 5th, 2022, Sita Ramam was theatrically released in Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. The movie had a successful opening weekend and was one of the highest-grossing Telugu movies of 2022.

 
During the discussions, Mrunal was asked how it feels to go on when a film is well-received by those who have seen it, but the numbers don't follow. The actress then responded: "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...
 
Mrunal also 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 in time. Even today people recognize me as Sonia for playing Sonia. I can't move on to the matter of fact that when a good film is missed, it feels bad."
 
Rajkummar Rao, Manoj Bajpayee, Riya Sisodiya, Freida Pinto, Demi Moore, Richa Chadda, Anupam Kher, Adil Hussain, and Sai Tamhankar also acted in Love Sonia.
 
The Dhamaka actress will next be seen in Pippa. The film also stars Ishaan Khatter and Priyanshu Painyuli. She co-stars in the Hindi version of the Tamil film Thadam, Gumraah, with Aditya Roy Kapur.
