Everyone who has seen the film agrees that Mrunal is ideal for the role and performed the part full justice. Even if pooja hegde had been a better actor, she would not have made such an impression. The audience fell in love with her character because of Mrunal Thakur's youthful performance. There weren't many female leads in tollywood, therefore the producers were forced to use rashmika mandanna or pooja hegde as their leading ladies. However, Mrunal Thakur has emerged as Tollywood's new hope in the wake of Sita Ramam. She looks stunning and performs superbly.
It won't surprise anyone if Mrunal Thakur comes on to star in some "major" movies in the near future. Contrary to Bollywood, where she played ordinary roles in films like Jersey, Super 30, Dhamaka, and Toofan, let's hope tollywood makes advantage of her talent and beauty.
