Mrunal Thakur quits Doctor G?

A source close to the film told the entertainment portal that the makers were really excited to cast the two actors together as it was a fresh pair and they wanted to showcase their chemistry on the big screen. The source further said that Mrunal had given her dates last year for this film before the lockdown happened. Her character in the film is a strong one and the makers wanted her role to add more value to the film. But now, when the crew decided on the dates, owing to Ayushmann's schedule, Mrunal had to opt out since she has already committed the same dates to her other films like Pippa.
