Mouni Roy Talks About Her Role In Bramhastra, Says "I Was Surprised That They Wanted Me To Play The Villain"

Ayan Mukherji's ambitious project Brahmastra has gathered all the buzz and attention among its audience since day one. This is majorly because the movie is featuring one of our favorite Jodis Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. Soon we’ll see, how their real-life romance would turn into reel-life romance. And there is no doubt, that we are more than happy and excited to see them come together with their sizzling chemistry on screen. Not only this, there is one more surprise that awaits us, television’s talented star Mouni Roy is all set to enter Ayan Mukherjee's Brahmastra as the female antagonist.  Yes, she will be seen in an all too different avatar in the film, Mouni has always managed to impress the TV audience with her splendid acting skills on the small screen. She has made her Bollywood debut with Gold opposite Akshay Kumar, and now we are eager to see what this new project holds for her.

In a recent interview with The Times of India, Mouni talked about her character and said, "I am playing the main villain in the film. I am really looking forward to it. What is more liberating for me is playing different characters that challenge me. I was surprised initially that they wanted me to play the villain." She also added, "Ayan Mukerji had seen something from Naagin and felt I could play the villain. So you never know what clicks with whom. As an actor, you should be willing to experiment and be versatile otherwise you can't learn and grow."

Earlier she had posted a picture with her 'favourite' Ayan and had written, "Your mind is so open your brains ll fall out”? ~ One nerd to another ?! #Favorite @ayan_mukerji"

The actress also shared her experience working with the star cast of Brahmastra Amitabh Bachchan who also plays a vital role in the film. She said, "I can die happily after working with Amitabh Ji. I was like a puppy on the sets who didn’t know what to say or do." Talk about fangirling! She had also opened up about sharing screen space with Ranbir-Alia and had the sweetest words for her co-stars. "They are darlings… Such big stars but when you know your craft you can be genuine and humble. When I came in to shoot I was nervous but like our director Ayan (Mukerji) says, ‘It’s about creating art’ and they made me really comfortable," Mouni had added.

Brahmastra is the first installment in a three-part fantasy drama franchise which is being produced by Dharma Productions. It is releasing in Summer 2020. Also backed by Fox Star Studios, the movie also stars Dimple Kapadia and Nagarjuna in key roles.
