Mrunal Thakur compares South and Hindi films

Mrunal Thakur had impressed all her fans by makind her South debut in Dulquer Salmaan starrer Sita Ramam. Mrunal is now gearing up for another major South film tentatively titled Nani30. The movie stars Nani as the lead, the film will be shot across the country and recently, the actress concluded the Mumbai schedule of the film.

Mrunal Thakur opened up about her experience if working in both South and Hindi cinema, saying, “I personally feel cinema is cinema and much like we are a huge diverse country, cinema in India too is made of many different parts. I have been fortunate to now have worked in Hindi and the south. Yes, at the periphery, there are some small differences, but the art remains constant. There are trivial differences maybe like shooting schedules and duration of shoots, like for example South films have a longer schedule as there’s a lot of detailing that happens.”

She further added, “Similarly the aspect of storytelling has its own nuances in each industry, like there’s a lingering common theme of human drama in a lot of South films while Hindi films focus a lot on emotions, etc. And they individually make for great storytelling platforms. At the end of the day, a film set is the same everywhere we go. I worked on Love Sonia in my debut with major talent from the west, and barring maybe small differences, a movie set is a movie set and telling stories through cinema is universal.”

Speaking about Nani30, Mrunal said, “Working on Nani30 has been an absolute joy. We had a blast shooting in Mumbai, and I am excited to be a part of the film. The energy on set was infectious and the entire cast / crew have had a great time shooting so far. We will soon be heading to Coonoor soon and doing another schedule soon there”.

Meanwhile, Nani30 is expected to be a Pan India film that marks the directorial debut of Shouryuv. The film is expected to release on December 21 in multiple languages.
