MUMBAI: Mrunal Thakur, who started her career with television but moved on to films and web series, says it is important for an actor to avoid getting into a comfort zone.
The “Love Sonia” star is now awaiting the release of two films — “Super 30″ and Batla House”. She will also headline the prequel series to “Baahubali” on Netflix.
“Versatility is the key today. We have a smart audience today if you keep doing same stuff nobody is going to watch you. If I do not get out of my comfort zone, then it is not the people but me who should be blamed for choosing same kind of roles.
“They should get to see a different side of me, they need to see different characters,” Mrunal, who became a household name with her role in TV show “Kumkum Bhagya”, told reporters.
In “Baahubali: Before the Beginning”, she will play Sivagami, a role made famous by Ramya Krishnan in the two-part film franchise.
As part of her training for “Baahubali..” series, the 26-year-old actor is learning kalaripayattu, sword fighting and horse riding.
She will be seen alongside Hrithik Roshan in “Super 30”, John Abraham in “Batla House” and in her debut film “Love Sonia” she had stellar supporting cast – Manoj Bajpayee, Rajkummar Rao, Adil Hussain, Sai Tamhankar, Richa Chadha, Anupam Kher, Freida Pinto and Demi Moore.
“Super 30”, based on the life of the Patna-based scholar Anand Kumar, was earlier scheduled to arrive in cinemas on January 25 but it now releases on July 26 and Mrunal believes “Whatever happens, happens for good.” (AGENCIES)
