The buzz around actors Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur has intensified as dating rumors begin to swirl. Recent reports indicate that the couple may be contemplating a wedding, with a target date set for February.
According to Free Press Journal, Mrunal and Dhanush are envisioning an intimate ceremony, inviting only their closest family members and friends. Despite the growing speculation, neither actor has publicly confirmed or denied their romantic involvement.
### A Glimpse into Their Relationship
The dating rumors gained traction when the two were seen together at the screening of *Son of Sardaar 2*. Their chemistry was undeniable at Mrunal’s birthday celebration, where a viral video captured them laughing and holding hands. Additionally, Mrunal’s appearance at the wrap party for Dhanush’s film *Tere Ishk Mein* further fueled the gossip. Notably, reports suggest that Dhanush has introduced Mrunal to his family, with sightings of her alongside his sisters adding to the intrigue.
According to News18, Dhanush and Mrunal’s friendship blossomed after they met at an event in Hyderabad. Both actors are actively involved in the South Indian film industry, which likely facilitated their connection. A source revealed, “Yes, they are dating. However, it’s still early days, and they prefer to keep their relationship low-key, away from public scrutiny.” Friends of the couple reportedly support their relationship, noting their shared values and compatibility.
For context, Dhanush was previously married to Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth for 18 years. The couple, who share two sons, Yatra and Linga, announced their separation in 2022 and finalized their divorce in 2024.
### On the Professional Front
Currently, Mrunal is focused on her upcoming film *Dacoit*, which will be released in both Telugu and Hindi. The film features Adivi Sesh and Anurag Kashyap and is set to clash in theaters with *Toxic* and *Dhurandhar 2* on March 19, 2026.
