Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur and South superstar Dhanush are once again making headlines. This time, it’s because of a video where Mrunal is happily singing and vibing to a track from Dhanush’s upcoming film Idli Kadai. The clip has only added more fuel to the already strong dating rumours surrounding the two stars.
The Viral Video That Sparked More Speculation
In July 2025, Mrunal posted an Instagram story from inside her car. While promoting her own movie, she suddenly started singing along to Enna Sugam, a song from Idli Kadai starring Dhanush and Nithya Menen. The song had recently been released on Dhanush’s birthday, and fans couldn’t help but notice her excitement while performing it.
Although it might look like a casual moment, many fans believe it’s her way of showing support for someone special. With rumours already swirling, the video felt like a subtle confirmation for some observers.
How the Dating Rumours Began
According to reports, Mrunal and Dhanush first met during an event in the South. At that time, Mrunal was working on multiple projects, including films in Hyderabad and Mumbai. Their friendship reportedly grew during these busy schedules, and soon they started spending more time together.
A source close to the duo claims that they share similar values and have great compatibility, which has made them close very quickly. While they have no plans to make their relationship public yet, they also don’t seem bothered about being spotted together.
Public Appearances and Hints
The couple was first noticed together at the premiere of Kajol’s film Maa in June 2025. Soon after, Dhanush was seen attending the premiere of Son Of Sardaar 2 — where Mrunal had personally invited him. Fans have also spotted them holding hands and having long conversations at industry gatherings.
Dhanush and Mrunal’s Past Relationships
Dhanush was earlier married to Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, for 18 years before they announced their separation in 2022. Since then, there have been occasional dating rumours, but nothing concrete until now.
Mrunal Thakur, on the other hand, has mostly kept her private life away from the limelight. In the past, she was in a relationship with writer Sharad Tripathi and participated with him in the dance reality show Nach Baliye 7. They parted ways after the show ended.
Why Fans Are Excited About This Pair
Both actors come from different film industries but share a reputation for choosing unique and meaningful roles. Dhanush is celebrated for his versatility, while Mrunal is loved for her charm and natural acting. Fans feel their pairing — both on and off screen — could be a refreshing addition to the entertainment industry.
Conclusion
While neither Dhanush nor Mrunal has officially confirmed their relationship, their public appearances, shared interests, and now Mrunal’s playful performance of Dhanush’s song are keeping the rumour mill spinning. Whether it’s friendship or love, one thing is certain — this is a duo that fans are watching very closely.
