Mrunal Thakur says she found it tough to play a cop in ‘Gumraah’

In the movie “Gumraah,” the actress Mrunal Thakur stated how difficult it was for her to portray a police officer.

TV and movie star Mrunal Thakur discussed how difficult it was for her to portray a police officer in Vardhan Ketkar’s movie “Gumraah,” which also stars Aditya Roy Kapur.

The story of “Gumraah” begins with a murder, and the entire plot centres on identifying the truth and the true offender. Shivani Mathur, the investigative officer tasked with solving the murder mystery, is portrayed by Mrunal. It is a remake of the Tamil movie “Thadam” from 2019.

She said, “It was a great experience essaying the role of a cop for the first time. The moment when you wear that uniform, you feel the responsibility and the power that comes with it. Earlier, I have played the roles of a daughter, love interest or a wife but this is something very new to me.”

Mrunal started her career with TV and during her college days got the lead role in ‘Mujhse Kuchh Kehti…Yeh Khamoshiyaan’. Later, she signed the most popular show ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ and also appeared as a contestant on ‘Box Cricket League 1’ and ‘Nach Baliye 7’.

She was also seen in a titular role in the international film ‘Love Sonia’.

She joined the cast of “Jersey” in 2022 and starred opposite Shahid Kapoor in Hanu Raghavapudi’s “Sita Ramam,” her first Telugu movie.

Mrunal Thakur went on to discuss her experience filming “Gumraah” and how it was to collaborate with Ronit Roy.

“I really enjoyed the filming process with Ronnie and Ronit Sir. It was an adventure altogether. There were times when Vardhan (director) would come up to me saying that the scene was very cute but it has to be the opposite. I had to prepare my own mindset to not behave like a cute girl and portray a strong and serious personality for the scenes,” she adds.

On Kapil’s show, Mrunal made an appearance and discussed her personal and professional lives. She went into great depth about the film.
