Mouni Roy has had a successful stint on TV; her last outing in Naagin had won her immense popularity. It had become one of the most popular shows on TV. Mouni has her eyes set on Bollywood now. She has completed the shoot of Reema Kagti’s Gold with Akshay Kumar. Mouni’s look in the trailer of the film was much appreciated. Mouni is currently in Bulgaria to shoot for Brahmastra with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
Surbhi Jyoti will be stepping into her shoes for the third season of Naagin. She told a leading daily that it was a tough decision to quit the show. She said, “Naagin is close to my heart. I will miss everything about the show. It was something that was conceptualized around me.”
About working in films, Mouni said, “I wanted to give movies a chance. After all, such opportunities don’t always come your way.”
She said that working in these two big films does not mean that she will quit the television industry. “No way, I am quitting TV,” she quipped. Mouni also revealed that she is interesting in shows that have a finite duration. “Such shows give you a chance to concentrate on your character for a few months and help you break monotony.”
About her Bollywood debut with Gold, she had said, “For the longest time, I didn’t know if I would be doing it or not. Two months after the audition, I got a text from the casting representative saying I was shortlisted. Eventually, it worked out and I was very happy. I am a person of disbelief and confusion and nerves, so good news takes a lot of time to sink in.”
