Mrunal Thakur on Working with Pooja Meri Jaan Cast

Mrunal Thakur, who headlines the upcoming crime-thriller and courtroom drama Pooja Meri Jaan, recently discussed her experience working alongside co-stars Huma Qureshi, Vikram Singh Chauhan, and Vijay Raaz.

Reflecting on the production, Thakur highlighted the distinct energies each actor brought to the set. She described Huma Qureshi as dynamic and praised her experience working with Vijay Raaz and Vikram Singh Chauhan. Thakur noted that working with Vikram Singh Chauhan—who plays the vulnerable character Romeo in what was his first film—was instinctive, and the off-camera camaraderie helped ease the intense material.

Thakur also acknowledged the dedication of the filmmakers, including director Navjot Gulati, alongside producers Amar Kaushik and Dinesh Vijan.
