Mrunal Thakur On The Rise Of South Indian Cinema: “Content Reigns Supreme, Language Not A Barrier Anymore”

Mrunal Thakur, who is gearing up for her Telugu debut opposite south star Dulquer Salmaan in ‘Sita Ramam’, feels that south Indian cinema has emerged as a game-changer in the last few years with the pandemic further propelling the audience’s interest in exploring new content.

She also opines that content is the first priority for the audience today with the language of it not making much of a difference.

Commenting on the same, Mrunal Thakur said, “When someone talks about Indian films, one is likely to think first about Bollywood and Hindi music. However, in the past few years and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, that has changed somewhat as regional cinema steps in a bigger way, courtesy OTT platforms.”
