Actress Harshali Malhotra is known to most viewers as Munni. This was the name of her character in the 2015 film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. Harshali won everyone’s hearts by playing the role of a mute Pakistani girl, Munni. That was Harshali’s first performance, and that was her last. After 10 years, news came that she is returning to the screen.
When Harshali acted with Salman Khan in the film Bajrangi Bhaijaan, she was only seven years old. After that, she was not seen on the big screen again. A decade has passed since the release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Harshali has also matured. The audience had been missing her on screen for so many years. Finally, that wait is over.
After almost a decade, Harshali is returning to the big screen with the help of South Indian cinema. She has played an important role in Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna’s new film ‘Akhand 2’. She is making her Telugu debut with this movie.
Akhand 2, the sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Telugu movie Akhand, is a combination of action and spirituality that took the box office by storm. The makers of Akhand 2, made on a budget of Rs 200 crore, are expecting the same for the second part. Akhand 2 will be released on December 5. On this occasion, a grand event was recently organized in Mumbai. Harshali was also seen there alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna. Fans were impressed by her new look. It is learned that Harshali has played an important character named Janani in this movie, who turns the story around.
Harshali Malhotra said, ‘Munni was not just a character. She was a feeling, a memory, a heartbeat—which has remained with everyone even after all these years. I have also been clinging to your love for so many years. When you were missing Munni, I was getting ready, learning, growing up. So that I can come back better one day. That time has come. I am very happy that I am returning to the cinema hall after 10 years with the southern superstar NB sir.’
Akhand 2 will be released not only in Telugu but also in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam. This is undoubtedly a big opportunity for Harshaali, which can bring him recognition at the pan-India level.
