Casting Surprises
Mrunal Thakur, currently promoting her film 'Dacoit: A Love Story,' has opened up about her experience with 'Son of Sardaar 2'. She admitted to being disappointed by unexpected changes made during production.
Specifically, she cited casting decisions and the removal of crucial scenes with Roshni Walia as major points of concern. These alterations significantly impacted her character arc.
"That's not what I expected from the movie."
Shaken Trust
Mrunal revealed that she was unaware a "very senior actor" would be cast as her husband, which changed her expectations for the role. In 'Son of Sardaar 2,' Mrunal plays Rabia Akhtar, whose estranged husband, Danish, is portrayed by Chunky Panday.
Ajay Devgn plays Jaswinder Singh Randhawa (Jassi), married to Dimple (Neeru Bajwa). The narrative explores a potential romance between Rabia and Jassi.
Mrunal expressed that her trust was "shaken" but stated she has "no regrets" regarding her experience.
Edited Scenes and Lost Narrative
Mrunal also discussed the removal of important emotional scenes, particularly one with Roshni Walia, who plays her stepdaughter Saba.
The scene depicted a strong bond between Rabia and Saba after the death of Rabia's sister. Rabia sacrifices her personal life for Saba's well-being. This critical narrative element was ultimately cut from the final version of the film.
"I did not know two important scenes of mine would be edited on the table... that narrative was missing."
Despite her disappointment, Mrunal maintains a positive relationship with the team involved in 'Son of Sardaar 2'.
