Mrunal Thakur starts shooting for her debut Telugu film Lieutenant Ram

Mrunal Thakur is set to make her Telugu film debut in Lieutenant Ram, opposite Dulquer Salmaan. It is Dulquer's second Telugu film after Mahanati (2018) and is directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt are producing the project, with Vyjayanthi Movies. Vishal Chandrasekhar composed the music for the film.

The upcoming movie is a trilingual period love story that will be released in Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu. The international schedule for this film has been slotted for Russia with Dulquer and Mrunal. According to a news portal, "Mrunal has already arrived in Russia and has started shooting. It's a 5- to 6-day schedule, and she'll be shooting in St. Petersburg, Russia."

The news portal also added, "Dulquer and Mrunal have wonderful on-screen chemistry and this reflects perfectly on camera. This does not feel like Mrunal's Telugu debut as she has brilliantly adapted to the unit's working style and shooting patterns. The audience is going to have a great time watching her in this unique story for sure."

Mrunal has an interesting list of films lined up. She will be seen in the much-anticipated sports drama Jersey, opposite Shahid Kapoor. She is also working on Aankh Micholi, directed by Umesh Shukla, and Pippa, directed by Raja Menon.
