Expressing his commitment to acting, Mrunal shared, “Well, there are many projects that have come my way, but due to prior commitments, I haven't been able to take them up. Also, there were projects where I did not want to compromise on certain aspects that I am particular about. Acting is my first love and will always be, irrespective of the medium.”

Talking about the OTT space, Mrunal averred, “I have done a web series which will release in the next two months and I want to do more of such projects which are finite. I love thriller, cop-based and real-life based stories. I would also love to play an anti-hero which will give me a variation of shades to explore.”

He further added, “I am open to doing television, films and OTT but what is more important is that the character has to be impactful. I wouldn't mind doing a cameo role if it has substance but I want to refrain from taking up projects for the sake of doing.”

When asked about his recent activities, Mrunal elaborated, “I have been preparing for the Tennis Premier League, which will be on the lines of the Cricket Premier League. As the co-founder, I have been occupied working for this event right from the grassroots level.”
