Mrunal Thakur and Dulquer Salmaan
Mrunal Thakur and Dulquer Salmaan have sparked a wave of speculation on social media after a recent picture of the duo went viral. The photo instantly reminded fans of their on-screen chemistry in the 2022 romantic drama Sita Ramam. As a result, it sparked conversations about Sita Ramam 2 or a potential new collaboration between the two.
A fan posted the photo, in which Mrunal Thakur and Dulquer Salmaan are seen standing under an umbrella. They are seen smiling while being lost in each other's eyes. While Mrunal, dressed in a grey sleeveless kurta and a matching dupatta, holds the umbrella, Dulquer stands with his hands at the back dressed in a balck suit.

The image quickly went viral as fans speculated that the actors are reuniting for the sequel.
Nevertheless, there is no confirmation about Sita Ramam 2. The picture could be for a new film, but there is no official confirmation on that either. Industry sources suggest that Vyjayanthi Movies, the production house behind Sita Ramam, has no plans for a sequel.
Mrunal Thakur had recently revealed that she was working on a new film in Telugu, which could be the reason behind her recent Hyderabad visit. As rumours about a sci-fi thriller and other projects continue to do the rounds, there has been no official word about a sequel to Sita Ramam. Both actors have maintained silence on the matter.
On the work front, Mrunal will be next seen with Siddhant Chaturvedi in Do Deewane Seher Mein. Directed by Ravi Udyawar. A teaser was released recently, announcing that the film is slated to release theatrically on February 20, 2026. Additionally, she will also be seen with Varun Dhawan in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which was earlier scheduled to release on April 10, 2026.
On the other hand, Dulquer has a number of intereting projects in his kitty. This includes Malayalam action-drama I Am Game (expected April 2026), the period thriller Kaantha, and the Telugu actioner Aakasamlo Oka Tara. Additionally, he is also expected to be seen in Suriya 43 (Puranaanooru).
