But the actress had been rather selective with regard to Telugu films, and she is finally coming up with Dacoit alongside Adivi Sesh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And now, when she was asked to comment on her creative choices while picking films, Mrunal made a very interesting comment that has now drawn mixed reactions on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must first say that I\u00a0have rejected, with a big and heavy heart, many big-budget, well-packaged films due to the benchmark set by the roles Sita Mahalakshmi [Sita Ramam] and Yashna [Hi Nanna].\u201d Mrunal stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While it is obviously understandable that Mrunal has a certain mindset when it comes to picking films and following up her benchmark performances, her recent work hasn\u2019t been reflecting such quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A few social media users have pointed out that Mrunal Thakur did films like Son of Sardar 2 and Dewane Sher Anevi which neither have creative brilliance nor did they work out at the box office. If Mrunal was really particular about the kind of films that she was doing, she would not have done these commercial films that offer no variety, they say.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But at the same time, we can\u2019t be entirely redundant on Mrunal, as she might have meant her selective choices comment, keeping Telugu cinema in mind as she had been doing films only sparingly here.<\/p>\n<p>Even then we have the case of Family Star, but at the end of the day, an actor can\u2019t entirely be blamed for the failure of a film as no one can ensure 100% success rate in the film industry.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MrunalThakur?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#MrunalThakur<\/a> :<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have rejected many big-budget, well-packaged films due to the benchmark set by the roles Sita Mahalakshmi [Sita Ramam] and Yashna [Hi Nanna].\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H45syzxIhv\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/H45syzxIhv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gulte (@GulteOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GulteOfficial\/status\/2040458488539910448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 4, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-tag\">Tags <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gulte.com\/tag\/mrunal-thakur\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mrunal Thakur<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur is one of the most loved faces in Telugu cinema, thanks to the success&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":583065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,75,337,34637],"class_list":{"0":"post-583064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-mrunal-thakur"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=583064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/583065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=583064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=583064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=583064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
