Mirnaa is one of the actors who is busy across Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu cinema. She recently tasted huge success with Jailer 2, in which she played Rajinikanth’s daughter-in-law. The actor is now playing the female lead in the upcoming Telugu film Don Bosko, which stars Rushya Datta as the lead actor and is directed by Gouri Shankar. The film’s teaser was unveiled at an event in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
The teaser suggests that the film revolves around a college reunion. Murali Sharma plays the college principal, while former students gather for the reunion, except Ravi, who has turned into a goon. The film appears to be an entertainer. Speaking at the event, Mirnaa said she had always wanted to be part of a romantic comedy and thanked the director for giving her the opportunity.
"In Malayalam, Tamil and even Telugu, I have done many intense characters. I wanted to do a romantic comedy that would allow me to explore something different, and Don Bosko gave me that opportunity," said Mirnaa.
When the host asked her about her college days and whether she used to bunk classes, Mirnaa admitted that she did. "I never bunked classes in school because my father was like Hitler. He used to check my school notes and marks every weekend. But when I was in college, I used to bunk classes. The first film I watched during my college days was Magadheera, and I watched it so many times," she recalled.
She added that whenever her father questioned her about missing classes, she would come up with different excuses. "I used to tell him that I was in pain and had gone to a clinic or give him some other reason. My father knew that I wasn't going to complete my engineering course and that I wanted to become an actor," she said.
Mirnaa further revealed that she had wanted to become an actor from a very young age. "When I was in Class 7, I decided that I wanted to become an actor. When I bunked college classes, I acted very well at home to escape my father's questions. So, my acting journey actually started there," she said.
With Jailer 2 becoming a huge success, Mirnaa was also asked about her experience of working with Rajinikanth. She described it as a surreal experience and said that several of her childhood dreams had come true in a short span of time.
"Since childhood, I have maintained a book in which I write down everything I want to achieve in life. I had written that I wanted to work with Rajinikanth sir, Nagarjuna sir, Mohanlal sir and Shivanna. All of that happened in a short time, and I am very grateful to the universe. Whatever I wanted to achieve in life has happened in such a short span," she said.
Talking about Don Bosko, Mirnaa said the film has an important message despite her having a relatively small role. "I am a very small part of the film, but it has all kinds of emotions and a beautiful message. I am also eagerly waiting for the trailer," she said.
She also thanked director Gouri Shankar for giving her the opportunity. "I have known Shankar garu for almost three years, and I feel this is the best debut for him because the film has all the flavours. He is a very calm and composed person, and he hasn't changed a bit in the last three years," she said.
Speaking about her co-star Rushya Datta, Mirnaa called him the most comfortable actor she had worked with. "Rushya is the most comfortable actor I have ever worked with. We share a school-like friendship. Whenever I am in Hyderabad, I call him and wake him up from his sleep. He has put in a lot of hard work for this film. Though this is his first film, he already carries himself like an established hero," she said.
Venky Atluri attended the Don Bosko teaser launch as the special guest. Mirnaa expressed her admiration for the director, saying, "I am a great fan of your work, Venky sir," and added that she had watched all his films.
