Actor Mrunal Thakur, who hit the spotlight with Hrithik Roshan-starrer Super 30 and John Abraham's Batla House, has been approached to play the female lead in Naga Shaurya's new movie. To be directed by debutante Lakshmi Sowjanya, a protege of Krishna Vamsi and Sekhar Kammula, the film is said to be a 'hilarious feel-good love story'.

"The makers were impressed with Mrunal's performance in Super 30 and Batla House, and believe that her presence will bring a pleasant freshness to the film. The script too demanded a new pairing due to its young and enterprising content. Talks are underway and Mrunal has responded on a positive note. The director will meet the actor for story narration soon," informs a source.

The untitled romcom will go on floors in Hyderabad in October, and the makers are planning to also shoot in the picturesque locales of Darjeeling, Dehradun, Kerala, Visakhapatnam, and Paris.

Produced by S Naga Vamsy, the film will hit the screens in May 2020.
