Mrunal Thakur, who will be soon seen with Hrithik Roshan in Super 30, talked about people trolling the makers for making Hrithik dark-faced by using makeup. As soon as the trailer of Super 30 dropped online, netizens called out the makers for 'brownfacing' Hrithik, who plays Patna-born math wiz Anand Kumar in the drama, and reinforcing the class-colour stereotype.

Mrunal talked about this to a leading daily saying, "I think it was required for the character. Whenever I saw Hrithik in his dark complexion, I would end up calling him Anand and not Hrithik. When people see the film, they will understand why it was necessary. In Love Sonia (2018), they [the makers] made me three to four shades darker, and it worked."

Revealing that she landed the project after a string of auditions, she said, "When we started filming for Super 30, people didn't know about Love Sonia. So, everybody was treating me as a newcomer. Thankfully, Hrithik appreciated me all the time. That encouraged me to perform better."

But she also mentioned that now she does not have to go for auditions, people call her directly now. "Now, I don't have to go for auditions. People call and tell me that they want to meet me for narrations. That never happened to me before," the actress concluded.
