Mrunal Thakur steps into a vibrant Punjabi role in her upcoming film, Son of Sardaar 2. The recently released trailer offers a glimpse of her character, Rabia seen delivering lively Punjabi dialogues and dancing to the infectious beats of the dhol. At the trailer launch event, Mrunal spoke candidly about the challenges of playing a Punjabi character and shared her experience of shooting for the film.
Highlighting the importance of delivering impactful dialogues in a comedy, she said, “Comedy is also about give and take you just react to what the other person is saying. Sometimes, you get so engrossed in delivering the line, but there are a lot of improvisations, so you just have to go with the flow. That’s what I learned from everyone you have to be present, and the line needs to land. If the line doesn’t land, there’s no point.”
On stepping into a Punjabi character, she added, “For me, it was slightly difficult to act, dance, and groove to the beats of the dhol hats off to all those who play it! The Punjabi accent was a bit tough too, but everyone helped me through it. Overall, I had so much fun while shooting. Interestingly, I even learned some French in Punjabi! If you watch the trailer, you’ll see Rabia has her own shades. Being a Maharashtrian, it was quite challenging to play a Punjabi role. Par, sound bolte hi hum sab form mein aa jaate the.”
