Mrunal Thakur is all set for her next film of the year, a comedy this time, titled Aankh Micholi. The actor has already delivered three projects, including Gumraah, Lust Stories 2 and Made In Heaven 2, and plays a person with night blindness in the multi-starrer comedy. While the Aankh Micholi trailer comes across as a laugh riot, Mrunal reveals how she lost a thumbnail in an injury during the film prep when she would walk around blindfolded. Otherwise, the actor confirmed it was too much entertainment on sets as much as they expected to serve the audience.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Mrunal Thakur talked in detail about the making of the film which also stars Paresh Rawal, Divya Dutta, Vijay Raaz, Abhimanyu Dassani, and Sharman Joshi among the lead cast. Excerpts from the interview.
To play blind on screen was really challenging. I can’t even think about the people who are going through night blindness. I don’t know how they manage their life, and for me, they are my superheroes. To work with such experienced actors and to give me this role was a big deal for me. I just wanted to be a part of a comedy genre and who better than Umesh sir, and this entire amazing, talented gang. So it was a no-brainer and I just got on board.
It’s about a family with flaws coming together to get their daughter married. It’s a dysfunctional family that takes you on a joyful ride. How we own our flaws and live our lives with honesty and loyalty, is a beautiful concept. It’s based on a play.
