Mrunal Thakur is all set for the release of her upcoming film ‘Family Star’ alongside Vijay Deverakonda, scheduled to hit theaters on April 5. As part of the movie’s promotion, director Parasuram Petla and the cast recently held a press meet.
During the event, Mrunal Thakur was asked to name her favorite co-star. Without hesitation, she named her ‘Sita Ramam’ co-star, Dulquer Salmaan. When questioned by the media about her favorite co-star among all the actors she has worked with, Mrunal initially found it a challenging question. However, she eventually admitted that her favorite was Mollywood actor Dulquer Salmaan. She described the filming of ‘Sita Ramam’ as tough for her but praised Dulquer’s character, Ram, for being motivating. She sees him as someone she looks up to and finds inspiration in his ability to work in multiple languages. She affectionately referred to Dulquer as her friend, first co-star, her Ram, and her mentor.
Notably, this isn’t the first time the duo has made headlines for their close bond. In 2023, Dulquer also named Mrunal as his favorite co-actress over Nithya Menon, despite having worked with Nithya in several romantic films. Dulquer attributed this preference to their exceptional collaboration in the film ‘Sita Ramam’, which surpassed his expectations.
‘Sita Ramam’ marked Mrunal Thakur’s Telugu debut and played a pivotal role in Dulquer Salmaan’s pan-Indian cinema career. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the 2022 blockbuster was acclaimed for its music, cinematography, and the remarkable on-screen chemistry between Dulquer and Mrunal. The film also featured Rashmika Mandanna in a significant role.
