Mrunalini’s film Kagaar which featured Om Puri and Nandita Das was critically acclaimed. She said, “The film was a big hit and Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary star came for the launch of the film. Gulzar saab had written a song for the film and I wanted him to write the song. He had also written the song for one of my TV series. I have worked as an assistant on the sets of his film Maachis. I have learnt a lot from Tigmanshu Dhulia, Imtiaz Ali and many such interesting and creative filmmakers.”

The last one year has been tough and though I have not been able to start any film project, I have a few scripts in my hand. Hopefully, I will start work on it soon.
