Mrunal Thakur on working with Vijay Devarakonda: He brings a great spark on screen

Mrunal Thakur, who is gearing up for her next, Hey Ninna, is now looking forward to working with Vijay Deverakonda in the tentatively titled film VD 13. Thakur made her Telugu debut with Sita Ramam (2022) starring alongside Dulquer Salmaan.

Sharing her experience working with the south actors, she said, "Right from the start when I began working on Sita Ramam, I was instantly welcomed with extreme warmth and love from the people from the south film industry. The industry has some of the finest actors in the country and I am grateful that I am getting a chance to share screen space with them."

"Whether it's Dulquer, Nani and now Vijay, they are such different actors with very different fan bases, it's never a dull day for me on the set. The love I got for Sita Ramam, I hope I receive the same love for my upcoming movies– Hi Naana and #VD13."

Speaking of Deverakonda, she said, "I'm looking forward to working with Vijay as I do know that we can learn together and from each other as actors. Currently we have started prep and the shoot of the film will start soon, and sharing screen space with Vijay is something I'm excited about."

"Whatever roles he does on screen, he has this great ability to bring this great spark on screen when he's in front of the camera. With each passing film, he's given such memorable characters which have become etched into our memories be it Dr. Arjun Reddy Deshmukh in Arjun Reddy (2017) or Vijay Anthony in Mahanati (2018)."

The team of VD 13 is going to start shooting soon. The project marks the reunion of Deverakonda and director Parasuram after Geetha Govindam (2018).
