It would be a great opportunity for Mouni to prove her acting abilities as the role is poles apart from her previous ones on the small screen like ‘Sati in Devon ke Dev Mahadev’, Shivaya and Shivangi Ritik Singh in the ‘Naagin’ series and Meera in ‘Junoon – Aisi Nafrat Toh Kaisa Ishq’. The trained Kathak dancer was also a finalist in the dance show Jhalak Dikhhla ja in 2014. In 2016 she gave a special appearance in the song “Nachna Aaonda Nahin” in the movie Tum Bin 2. After the completion of her last shoot for ‘Naagin2,’ Mouni Roy at present is enjoying her much needed holiday break in Chicago. Her stunning Instagram pictures are showing her major vacation goals. The third season of Naagin will be airing on television around November.
Mouni was believed to be launched in Bollywood by none other than Salman Khan. However, her first film would be against Akshay Kumar. Many actors and actress of big screen budded from the small screen like the great SRK and Raabta fame Sushant Singh. They acquired name and fame in Bollywood. Let’s hope this young and dynamic gal shows her talent on the big screen. It is a whole new ball game more competitive than ever for this new actress.
