"Mrinal Thakur's Heartfelt Connection with 'Seetaramam' and Co-star Dulquer Salmaan"

Mrinal Thakur, who has starred in various Hindi films, truly found her stride in the Telugu cinema with the blockbuster "Seetaramam."

Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the film allowed her to shine in the role of Seetamahalakshmi. Since then, Mrinal has gained significant popularity in the Telugu states. Her co-star, Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan, played a pivotal role not just on screen but also behind the scenes by aiding her during the filming. In a recent interview, Mrinal expressed her deep emotional connection with the movie and especially with the role of Seetamahalakshmi. She shared that departing from the character was a challenging and emotionally draining experience for her. "The first film I did in Telugu was 'Seetaramam.' At that time, I didn't know what I was supposed to do. Dulquer Salmaan was incredibly supportive. He has always been my guide. Moving on from the role of Seetamahalakshmi felt almost impossible. When the shooting wrapped up, it felt like my heart was tearing apart," Mrinal said, expressing how deeply she loved the character and the heartbreak of leaving it behind.
