"There are a few films that don't require so much attention because they are simple. In 'Pippa' there is a lot of work, VFX, and the team shot at a number of locations. I was part of the first schedule, but for the second and third schedules, it was a very tough shoot, This is the kind of journey that a film like Pippa takes. The release of the film is not in my hands, but I am doing my best for the promotion of the film because I believed in the film when I signed it," she added.
"Also, I feel Pippa is coming at the right time. I want to see a film like this on Diwali with my family." Mrunal has been doing films in various languages, saying, "I love speaking different languages, and it is never that I get more love from the audience of one particular language. It is always about the story. Also, as an actor, I don't want language to be my barrier. So there are no north-south films for me. I believe in the stories."
