Sharvari rings in one year of ‘Munjya’ with fans and fond memories

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Sharvari Wagh marked the one-year anniversary of her breakout horror-comedy 'Munjya' with a celebration that delighted fans and rekindled memories of her character, Bela, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

The film, which evolved into a box-office blockbuster and crossed the Rs 100 crore mark, continues to enjoy cultural resonance, particularly through the viral dance number 'Taras', which remains a fan favourite across social media platforms.

To honour the film's anniversary, Sharvari made a surprise visit to a dance workshop. As soon as she entered the room, everyone present there was shocked and emotions rans high, tears welled up and cheers erupted. Fans requested her to immediately do the hook step of 'Taras' and Sharvari quickly did the step and danced with everyone.

Dancing with her, fans relived that viral moment, which created a stir on the screen a year ago. Sharvari said, “I still can’t believe it’s already been a year since 'Munjya' released. Playing Bela was such a creatively fulfilling experience, but what truly took me by surprise was the overwhelming love audiences showed for our dance track ‘Taras.’

"For someone just starting out, having a producer like Dinesh Vijan sir back me with such a big, high-energy number was surreal. Established actors or dancing idols getting big dance numbers because they have the pull and the popularity to hook people’s interest.

Being a Maharashtrian, I’ve always been fascinated by mythology and folklore. I had heard of Munjya growing up, but when this script came to me, the level of detail and imagination just blew my mind.”

She added, “And with Aditya Sarpotdar sir directing it, I was thrilled. I’ve seen most of his films and they have been mind-blowing. We also shot in the Konkan belt, and he was so well-versed with everyone there—the language, the terrain, the food, the delicacies. We learnt a great deal from him.”
