Actress Mrunal Thakur has responded to speculation about her possible involvement in Raaka, the upcoming film starring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone and directed by Atlee. However, she has neither confirmed nor denied the reports, saying she will announce her upcoming projects on social media soon.
Raaka is among the most anticipated films of 2027. The science-fiction action film will bring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone together on screen for the first time. Deepika has previously worked with Atlee in Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan.
In an interview with HT City, Mrunal was asked whether she would be part of the much-talked-about project. Instead of giving a direct answer, the actress responded with a laugh, saying, “I like how you assume that I am doing Raaka.” When asked again, she said she would soon announce her upcoming films on social networking platforms to put an end to the rumours.
Mrunal Thakur Wants to Enjoy the Acting Process
Speaking about her approach to choosing films, Mrunal said she wants to focus on enjoying the process rather than judging every project by its outcome.
She compared filmmaking to an experiment, explaining that every experience offers an opportunity to learn. According to the actress, she does not want to conclude that a project has failed simply because it did not produce the expected results.
Mrunal also said she hopes to work in films that not only challenge her as an actor but also help audiences deal with their personal struggles and become better individuals.
Actress Hopes to Explore Romantic and Family Dramas
Mrunal revealed that she would like to do more romantic films and family dramas. She named popular Hindi films such as Hum Saath-Saath Hain and Hum Aapke Hain Koun as examples of the kind of cinema she enjoys.
She also expressed interest in returning to Marathi cinema. The actress said she was looking for a good Marathi script and hoped to surprise audiences with a project in the language.
For now, her role in Raaka remains unconfirmed. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement to know whether she will join Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in Atlee’s upcoming film.
