The ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ director, who was present at the event along with the cast and crew of ‘Dacoit’, praised Mrunal’s performance and advised her to be selective about the projects she takes on.
“Mrunal I think you are amazing. I am generally very protective of the stuff that you pick. Whenever you do something that’s not great, I am like why is she doing that? She deserves to do much better stuff. And whenever there’s a character that has that depth or sorrow or pain, I think you are like that era of Madhubala and Smita Patil, there are not many people like this. So please don’t do random stuff and do good stuff,” Ashwin said.
Mrunal was visibly moved by the praise and expressed her gratitude by bowing her head, thanking Ashwin for his encouraging words.
