Bringing together two performers known for their varied and layered portrayals, Zee 5 Global’s upcoming film Pooja Meri Jaan marks the first on-screen collaboration between Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi. The film brings the two actors together in a story that explores relationships, rejection and how the same situation can be perceived differently by different people.
Mrunal steps into the titular role of Pooja, a young woman whose life takes an unexpected turn, leaving her at the centre of accusations and public scrutiny, while Huma Qureshi essays Sana, a lawyer who becomes closely connected to Pooja and finds herself navigating the complex situation while trying to uncover the truth. With both characters approaching the unfolding situation from their own perspectives, their first-time pairing adds an intriguing dynamic to the narrative, while keeping audiences curious about where their journeys will lead.
Speaking about working with Huma, Mrunal Thakur shared, “One of the lovely things about this film was the people I got to work with. Everyone brought such a different energy to sets, Huma is so dynamic as an actress.”
With two distinct performers coming together for the first time, Pooja Meri Jaan offers audiences an opportunity to see Mrunal and Huma in a new on-screen pairing. Directed by Navjot Gulati and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik under Maddock Films, Pooja Meri Jaan is set to premiere globally on Zee 5 Global on 2 October 2026.
