Batla House is based on Operation Batla House of 2008. From the posters to the teaser to the trailer, it was intriguing. John Abraham is playing the role of DCP Sanjeev Kumar Yadav and Mrunal as his wife, Nandita Yadav. Talking about playing this role Mrunal told BT, “Playing Nandita was challenging, because along with being a wife, she is also a journalist. There are situations in the story, where she has to present the news of the encounter, in which her husband (a police officer) is involved. It becomes tougher when the news gets sensationalised, and she has conflict of opinions with her bosses.” Batla House Song Rula Diya: Ankit Tiwari's Soul Stirring Number For John Abraham and Mrunal Thakur Should Be Heard On Loop (Watch Video).

Mrunal Thakur further said, “Given the situation she is in, Nandita has to switch off emotionally when she is in front of the camera as a journalist — portraying her inner conflict was definitely a challenge. Also, this role was different, as I had to play strong woman. Earlier, I have always played a victim, or a naive girlfriend. So, get into the skin of the character, I took inspiration from a few real-life journalists.” Fans have totally loved Mrunal’s performance in her last Bollywood outing. Now let’s wait and watch how she impresses the audience with another kick-ass role in Batla House. Directed by Nikhil Advani, Batla House is all set to release on August 15.
