According to Mrunal Thakur, she had a tryout for Jai Gangaajal but was defeated by Priyanka Chopra. She believed that Priyanka handled the role in a manner that she was unable to.
In the suspense film Gumraah, Aditya Roy Kapur plays two characters for the first time, and Mrunal Thakur makes his acting debut as a police detective. Priyanka Chopra ultimately landed the part of the cop in Jai Gangaajal, though Mrunal could have played one early in her career. This was revealed recently by Mrunal during the promotion for Gumraah. The actor continued by saying that because Priyanka wasn’t prepared at that time in her career, she was a better fit for the role.
Mrunal, who is a fan of Priyanka, told News18 at a gathering that she handled the Jai Gangaajal rejection well. She said, “Maybe I wouldn’t have been able to do what she did in the movie at that time. I was not prepared. She gained insight into handling rejection thanks to the event. The follow-up to Gangaajal is called Jai Gangaajal and is directed by Prakash Jha. (2003).
In the Telugu romance drama Sita Ramam (2022), Mrunal last appeared alongside Dulquer Salmaan. She will also co-star with Nani in his upcoming Telugu film Nani 30 as well as the upcoming movies Pippa and Aankh Micholi.
