After becoming Television's hottest 'Naagin', Mouni Roy is all set to take Bollywood by storm. Even before her debut film, 'Gold' with Akshay Kumar hits theaters, the actress is on a signing spree. She is already working in Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra' with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor and now has signed her third Bollywood film as well.
Mouni Roy is all set to act opposite John Abraham in his next film, RAW: Romeo Akbar Walter. The actress confirmed the news to Mumbai Mirror and said, “I’ve given auditions in the past but this film just happened. I went for a meeting and the team instantly felt I suited the character as I have an old-world vibe. They offered me the role and I immediately said ‘yes’. I wasn’t happy with the other offers I got around the time but I am excited about this film.”
From Amitabh Bachchan to John Abraham, Mouni Roy feels blessed with an opportunity to work with stalwarts. Expressing her gratitude, she added, “I love John sir’s work. He has an intimidating personality but everyone says wonderful things about him. These days, I’m kind of numb. After facing the camera with Akshay sir, I’ve worked with Ranbir and Alia but am yet to shoot with Bachchan sir (Amitabh Bachchan who is also a part of Brahmastra). When I do, I will be so nervous I’ll probably hide in a corner (laughs).
Director Grewal revealed Mouni has a multi-layered role and co-producer Bunty Walia feels, “She fits the part perfectly.”
RAW will be shot in 60-days start-to-finish schedule in parts of Gujarat, Srinagar, and Nepa and is set against the backdrop of Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
