When it comes to slipping into character, Mrunal Thakur never does things halfway. Whether it’s a girl-next-door in Toofan or a fierce queen in Sita Ramam, she always brings something new to the table. But this time, she’s showing us a completely different side. In Son of Sardaar 2, Mrunal becomes Rabia—bold, glamorous, and full of energy. And honestly? We’re already obsessed.
Just a day before the film’s release, Mrunal gave fans a glimpse of her transformation into Rabia. She dropped a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, and let’s just say—if excitement wasn’t already sky-high, it definitely is now.
The Glow-Up We Didn’t See Coming
In the video, posted on July 31, Mrunal is seen sitting in a makeup chair surrounded by her glam squad. She’s wearing a sheer black embellished top, paired with edgy leather bottoms, and sipping her drink while chatting with her team. It’s chaotic in the best way—hair being curled, makeup being dabbed, and Mrunal casually scrolling through her phone in the middle of it all.
But then comes the switch. As the transformation wraps up, she flips her hair like a total boss, flashes a smirk, and ends the clip with a kiss to the camera. It’s clear—Rabia isn’t just a look. She’s a vibe.
In her caption, Mrunal wrote, “After 9284472 hrs of chapad chapad, finally Rabia is coming to you all in a day!! Tyaar hoo?” That one line says it all—this character has been a ride for her, and now she’s ready to show the world what she’s been working on.
Fans Are Already in Love
The comment section exploded the moment the video went live. One fan wrote, “Gorgeous Rabia meets cutie pie Mrunal’s vibe.” Another said, “We are all ready for Rabia to steal our hearts!” And honestly, they’re not wrong.
People aren’t just hyped about the film—they’re excited to see Mrunal in a completely new avatar. From her bold eye makeup to that confident energy she brings, fans are already calling this her most unforgettable transformation yet.
You know a role’s going to hit when fans can feel the character before even seeing the full performance.
Prepping for Rabia Wasn’t Just Glam—It Was Grit
If you’ve been following Mrunal’s journey, you’ll know she doesn’t just show up on set and wing it. For Son of Sardaar 2, she even learned how to play the dhol. That’s right—Mrunal picked up the traditional instrument to fully embrace Rabia’s Punjabi roots and bring authenticity to the screen.
She’s also been working closely with director Vijay Kumar Arora to craft Rabia as more than just a stylish leading lady. There’s depth, chaos, and a lot of heart in this role. From dance rehearsals to learning local dialects, Mrunal put in the work.
And the payoff? Well, we’ll see it in full when the film hits theatres on August 1. But from what we’ve seen already—it’s going to be electric.
What’s Son of Sardaar 2 All About?
Let’s not forget, this film isn’t just about one character—it’s a full-blown action comedy with drama, madness, and plenty of Desi flavour. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, Son of Sardaar 2 stars Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Sanjay Mishra, and Ravi Kishan in lead roles.
The story follows Jassi Singh Randhawa (played by Ajay), who flies to Scotland hoping to win back his estranged wife. But of course, nothing goes as planned. He ends up smack in the middle of a hostage situation, a mafia mess, and a wild Sikh wedding. Enter Rabia—Mrunal’s character—who’s anything but a damsel in distress.
This isn’t a typical sequel—it’s a standalone chaos-filled ride, with just the right amount of nostalgia and a whole lot of new energy.
Rabia Is Coming, and We’re Here for It
Watching Mrunal Thakur evolve over the past few years has been a treat. But with Rabia in Son of Sardaar 2, she’s clearly stepping into a bolder, more confident version of herself—both on and off screen.
From behind-the-scenes moments to full-on glam looks, she’s proving that she’s not afraid to take risks. And if this is the Mrunal we’re getting in 2025, we say—bring it on.
