The rumour mill is back in motion for Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur. Months after a viral video of the two at an event stirred dating speculation, the chatter has returned — this time thanks to a simple Instagram comment that fans quickly turned into a headline of its own.
A Hug in August Started the Fire — A Comment Just Reignited It
Back in August, Dhanush and Mrunal were spotted sharing a warm hug at the Son of Sardaar 2 premiere, leading many to believe something more than friendship might be brewing. The speculation eventually cooled, but now it’s back with force after Dhanush commented on Mrunal’s latest announcement post.
The actress recently revealed her next film, Do Deewane Seher Mein, co-starring Siddhant Chaturvedi, with theme music by Anurag Saikia. Under the teaser video, Dhanush wrote:
“Looks and sounds good,”
to which Mrunal replied with heart and sunflower emojis.
For fans, this tiny interaction was enough to set social media buzzing once again.
Fans Turn Sleuths, Screenshots Go Viral
It didn’t take long for a screenshot of the exchange to spread across X and Instagram. One fan posted it with crying and heart emojis, while another wrote, “Guys, Dhanush commented on Mrunal’s post,” as if announcing breaking news.
Some even jokingly referred to them as “thalaiva” and “thalaivi.”
But the frenzy didn’t stop there — a few fans shifted focus to the background score of Mrunal’s film teaser, saying it reminded them of Anirudh Ravichander’s music from Dhanush’s 2012 film 3. One user commented:
“File a copyright claim. Just because she’s your GF doesn’t mean they can copy the BGM.”
Others insisted the tune sounded like “Kannazhaga” from 3. The comparison quickly spread across YouTube and X.
What’s Next for Both Actors
Dhanush
- Last seen in Kuberaa and Idli Kadai, which he also wrote and directed

Mrunal Thakur

Final Words
A hug, a comment, a couple of emojis — that’s all it took for Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur to trend again.
