Scenes cut, casting surprises: Mrunal Thakur says Son of Sardaar 2 left her shaken

Actor Mrunal Thakur had a lot to say about her experience of working on Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 in her latest interview. The talented actor, who's been busy promoting Dacoit, didn't hold back when chatting with journalist Prema on her YouTube show. Apparently, a couple of her crucial scenes were snipped from the final cut, and she also had no idea a senior actor would be playing her husband onscreen.

The 33-year-old confessed that her trust took a hit with the film's creative decisions. She said, "I didn't know a very senior actor was going to play my husband. Because that just changes my...this is not what I expected from the movie. So, there I failed. Because there was a little bit of trust that was shaken. But you know what, I don't have regrets."

In the Vijay Kumar Arora directorial, she plays the wife to actor Chunky Pandey. She added how some pivotal scenes that could have added depth to her character and the storyline were left on the editing room floor. Thakur painted a picture of a touching scene where she selflessly gives up her personal life for her niece's betterment. "I did not know two important scenes of mine would be edited on the table...that narrative was missing," she revealed.

Despite these hiccups, Mrunal assured us there's no bad blood. She still shares a warm rapport with the film's team and holds no grudges.

Son of Sardaar 2, the sequel to the 2012 hit, stars an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn as the ever-dashing Jassi, Mrunal as Rabia, Ravi Kishan, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, and of course, Chunky Pandey. It didn't fare well at the box office. India Today gave the film 2.5 stars in its review.

A part of the review read, "Son of Sardaar 2 is a clean family entertainer that tries to tick every box - comedy, drama, patriotism, romance - but ends up being an uneven ride. It lacks the magic and madness of the original 'Son of Sardaar', and suffers from weak storytelling."
