Gumraah is the official Hindi version of the hit Tamil film Thadam (2019). Mrunal will be seen looking into a murder case in which two lookalikes are the main suspects. The film’s second schedule, directed by Vardhan Ketkar, was recently completed last month. Meanwhile, she will appear in this film in a part in which her character will be pitted against Aditya’s. She admits that she is subverting a cliche by portraying the romantic interest in recent films like Toofaan and Jersey. The actress went on to say that in such films, the war has always been fought by men, but she is glad to be on the opposite side.
