In 2016, after quitting television, Thakur began filming for her first film—the international movie Love Sonia—which was completed by her in 2017. The release date of the film was pushed several times and was finally released on September 2018.

Later that year, Thakur was cast opposite John Abraham in Nikkhil Advani’s action thriller Batla House. It was based on the Batla House encounter case held on September 2008 and narrated the story of a police officer Sanjay Kumar (played by Abraham) who played a crucial role in the case.
