Shraddha Kapoor’s Lesbian Role: Director Aditya Sarpotdar, who is now famous for his recent movie Thamma. His other blockbuster movie, which was released in 2024, Munjya which is a horror comedy film. The director revealed that initially, they had cast Shraddha Kapoor for the lesbian character in the movie, but they dropped their plan.

Shraddha Kapoor’s Character in Munjya:
Aditya revealed in a recent media interview, the film’s writer had originally imagined Munjya from a female viewpoint, including a lesbian female protagonist named Bittu. Shraddha Kapoor had even done a look-test for the original concept, which focused on Bittu’s emotional journey and her love for her closest friend.

This was the initial story. The film’s writer, Yogesh Chandekar, used a female protagonist and a female point of view. Back then, Bittu was a girl. Her best buddy is the object of her adoration. She identifies as a lesbian. No one can comprehend her. Aditya remarked, “Only Rajji gets her.” “I’m in love with my best friend; nobody would get that,” she says to Rajji. Munjya then steps in and stands up for her closest friend, he continued.

Alia Bhatt & Shraddha Kapoor For Munjya Role: 

According to the sources, initially, they decided to go for either Alia Bhatt or Shraddha Kapoor. But after the look and screen test, they have chosen Shraddha Kapoor. It is said that after Aditya had become an official director for the film, he made the decision to change the story a little bit and make it more focused. For this point, he said, “In my opinion, a movie’s central plot and heart should always remain the same, not different. He clarified, “The audience doesn’t get too many things; they come to focus on just one, and that’s what they want.”

After the director’s suggestion, the makers have cast Abhay Varma for the protagonist role and changed it from a female to a male character. Aditya claims that this modification made it possible to draw a closer comparison between Munjya, the ghostly entity, and the human character. Munjya and Bittu both have feelings for older ladies. Aditya pointed out that although Bittu chooses selfless love and sacrifice, Munjya develops a dangerous obsession.

The film’s emotional center was that contrast. After we made that adjustment, the game altered because the story’s entire point of view changed. After its June 7, 2024, release, Munjya became a huge box office hit, earning ₹127.95 crore in India and ₹132.13 crore globally. Key characters in the movie were played by Abhay Verma, Sharvari Wagh, Mona Singh, Taran Singh, Suhas Joshi, and Sathyaraj.
