The two have been spotted together at various events, including Mrunal's birthday celebration and the screening of her film Son of Sardaar 2, fueling whispers of a romance. According to sources, they're taking things slow and have no plans to make their relationship official just yet.
This new romance comes after Dhanush's separation from Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth in 2022, with whom he shares two sons. Dhanush has kept his personal life private since the split, but recent appearances with Mrunal have sparked speculation.
Mrunal Thakur, known for her roles in films like Sita Raman and Son of Sardaar 2, had also managed to keep her dating life under wraps until now. The actress's recent Instagram activity, including following Dhanush's sisters Karthika Karthik and Vimala Geetha, has further fueled the dating rumours.
