Pretty actress Mrunal Thakur, who vowed Telugu audiences with her scintillating performance in ‘Sita Ramam’, packs a punch with her kickboxing too. Inspired by her ‘Toofan’ co-star Farhan Akhtar, Mrunal trained under Rohit Nair, an MMA, Jiujistu player and coach. Mrunal performed a few action scenes in the film and her moves were kickass, claims Nair.
Although her training was for her role in Toofan, the combat sport became a part of her workout routine now. She claimed that her MMA training came in handy for her in the film Selfiee, where she had a special number, Kudinayee Ni Teri.
“Training under a professional MMA coach like Rohit Nair surely takes a lot of effort and dedication. He has attention to detail and ensures the mentee is getting her moves right,” she adds.
Meanwhile, Mrunal has bagged plum offers in Telugu. She will be romancing Nani in Hi Nanna and Vijay Devarakonda in another untitled film. No doubt, she is giving her rivals like Pooja Hegde and Rashmika a run for their money in Tollywood.
