Mouni Roy Gives Details About Her Character in ‘Brahmastra’, Reveals How Akshay Kumar And John Abraham Are Similar

Mouni Roy also reveals that 'Brahmastra' director Ayan Mukerji cast her in a negative role after seeing her performance in 'Naagin'

Actress Mouni Roy will be seen in Dharma Productions’ much-awaited film Brahmastra as a villain. The actress revealed the details of her character in her latest interview with a news agency. Mouni also talked about her other upcoming films – Bole Chudiyan with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and RAW-Romeo Akbar Walter with John Abraham.

Mouni told PTI, “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 challenges me. I was surprised initially that they wanted me to play the villain. Ayan Mukerji (director) 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.”

She also expressed her experience of working with the three stars – Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, in Brahmastra. She said, “My life is fulfilled after working with Mr Bachchan. Ranbir and Alia are sweethearts, they are too good. They all are such big stars that you get scared walking on the sets. “They all have been so generous, welcoming and made me feel comfortable. With great success and talent, they also have that humility and are accepting people from outside.”

Mouni’s next is RAW with John. The trailer of the film has already released to positive reviews from the audience. The actress says she plays the character of John’s love interest in the film. Mouni said, “RAW was offered to me after Gold and Brahmastra. This was last year. I am playing John’s love interest, it is integral to the story. She is a banker. It was superb working with John. Both Akshay Kumar (her Gold co-star) and John Abraham have a lot of similarities like they are so so focused and disciplined.”

Talking about Bole Chudiyan, she revealed, “This girl in (Bole Chudiyan) is very fiery, drives tractors and dances. It is a full-on Hindi film heroine. I am excited about it. I was waiting for something like this.”
