When and how did it all begin?
The source further revealed, "The success of Sita Ramam opened doors for Mrunal in the South film industry. She has simultaneously been working in Mumbai too." "Mrunal, who is currently shooting for Dacoit: A Love Story with Adivi Sesh, keeps shuttling between Mumbai and Hyderabad, and it's during an event down south where she met Dhanush."
