Mrunal Thakur’s cinematic roles may have been rather abridged, but the actor has managed to catch the attention of both critics and fans with her work. Not one to seek stereotypical roles, Thakur was up for the challenge when offered the part of Sita in the Telugu offering, Sita Ramam. 

Hanu Raghavapudi’s directorial venture pairs her alongside Dulquer Salmaan. “I have always been fascinated by the heartland of India. The characters inspired by the people belonging to these places are endearing, interesting, multi-layered, and importantly, real. I’m always up for a challenge, and the fact that people are loving the way in which I have moulded into Sita [is reassuring]. I took it upon myself to ensure that I nab the diction. I always try to get into the skin of my character, so, I opted for diction training.”
