INTERVIEW
Mrunal Jain – A subtle man behind the macho look
Here is, Mrunal Jain the man behind the tough macho face in ‘Naagarjuna-Ek Yodha’ which is being currently aired on Life Ok. He is a versatile actor appreciated for his role as Aakash Avinash Chatterjee in Uttran’ of Colors, Sameer in Hitler Didi. Other TV serials in which he acted are Bandini, Looteri Dulhan and Bandhan. He is also associated with theatre and a few workshops. This all began with his role as Krishna in epic television series ‘Kahani humare Mahabharat ki’. He has also been fortunate to have worked with Ram Gopal Verma’s Satya 2, where he appears on the screen as an undercover police officer.
Very few people are aware Mrunal grabbed the limelight as a part of Gladrags Mega Model-2007 and stood among the top-10 finalists. But this promoted him to indulge in many modelling assignments. But it was his mother’s ambition to see him on TV that sparked his drive. “My mother is the one who encouraged me. It was her dream to see me on TV. Whenever she use to see other actors on TV she always said, ‘you look like a hero why don’t you try?’ So it’s her faith in me that gave me the confidence to bring me to this position in the industry.”
Mrunal also spoke about his upcoming serial ‘Naagarjuna- Ek Yodha’ which is currently airing on Life Ok. “This project is very special for me as I got a chance to work with Mr. Yash Patnaik (the producer) who is known for his outstanding work and at the same time this project is quite challenging as here I’m playing double role one is of IPS officer ‘Rajveer Singh’ and other is ‘Shankkachurna’” he shared. Like all other actors, Mrunal’s Tellywood journey was not a piece of cake. He struggled and went through a roller-coaster ride with many ups and downs. He gives credit of his success to his mother, who was his backbone

Like all other actors, Mrunal’s Tellywood journey was not a piece of cake. He struggled and went through a roller-coaster ride with many ups and downs. He gives credit of his success to his mother, who was his backbone throughout his struggles and now his wife has taken over the role. While talking about his career, he said, “my career graph is poised for a change. I am optimistic that I will be a success.” He is not limiting himself to just acting, as he is planning to launch a new web series and is in the process of registering a production house.
Mrunal is a die-hard fan of Hrithik Roshan. The actor has inspired him to work-hard, “his performances as par-excellence. He used to stumble in his sentences once upon a time, but not anymore. I’m not praising him because he is a ‘Roshan’ but he has worked hard to prove himself at every point that talent can only pay off with hard work. There is a special thing about Hritik that whenever he does a movie whether it works or not he always gets praises and applauses for his performance.”
Mrunal being modest accepts that still there is a lot for him to learn from this industry whether from experienced or upcoming actors. He also credits his mother for the role she has played so far in his success and his wife for being a strong support.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
