Background
The duo had previously fuelled dating rumours when they were spotted sharing a warm hug at the Son of Sardaar 2 premiere earlier this year, prompting many to believe there was more to their camaraderie.
Interestingly, the conversation online didn't end with the supposed romance. Several fans pointed out that the background score in Do Deewane Sheher Mein's teaser sounded strikingly similar to the music from Dhanush and Shruti Haasan's 2012 hit film 3, composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Dhanush is gearing up for the release of Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Aanand L Rai, where he stars opposite Kriti Sanon. The film hits cinemas on November 28.
Mrunal Thakur, last seen in Son of Sardaar 2, has a busy slate ahead with Do Deewane Sheher Mein, Dacoit: A Love Story, and several other projects lined up.
