Due to telugu filmmakers who patronize such hotties by paying them lavish salaries, few actresses start off strong with their first movie, elevating them to a high pedestal. Mrunal Thakur, who has only one hit movie to her credit to date, Sitaramam, is one such trendy starlet. Currently, rumors are circulating that she charges anywhere between 3 and 4 crores for every film in Tollywood, but it is difficult for her to make at least 1 crore in Bollywood. She reportedly earned 3 crores for #Nani30, compared to more for Vijay Devarakonda's movie.

Many people question if Mrunal is deserving of this large salary at a time when Sreeleela, a busy celebrity and significantly better actor as well as glam diva, is earning just 1–1.5 crores. She isn't even a popular celebrity in Bollywood, so her being there won't draw any particular notice to these flicks in mumbai circles either. So what prompted the producer to spend a fortune to secure this gorgeous 30-year-old model?

According to others, the absence of mid-level star females drove actors like nani and Vijay to this emerging talent. Producers don't mind shelling out 3–4 crores for Mrunal because his first success may be useful when pitching the movie to distributors and theatres. These heroes often command fees between 25–30 crores. telugu fans are extremely enamoured with her portrayal of "Sita" in Sitharamam. The actress should achieve a few back-to-back superhits if she needs to justify her salary.
