Mrunal Thakur may have initially struggled to find her foothold in Bollywood. However, her acclaimed act in the Dulquer Salman-starrer Sita Ramam has opened up several opportunities for her in the Telugu film industry.

Thakur is currently filming her second Telugu movie with Nani in Hyderabad. Shouryuv’s directorial venture, tentatively-titled Nani 30, is a significant film in her career given that, we hear, she has bagged Rs 6 crore for the film. “This development makes her one of the highest paid leading ladies, down south,” says the source, adding that Thakur currently has seven offers to pick from.
