Mouni Roy finally clears the air on Ekta Kapoor's Mehrunissa: Don't think it's happening [Exclusive]

After Ekta Kapoor and Mouni Roy's successful collaboration in Naagin, rumour mills were abuzz with reports of the two joining hands together for yet another project. This one was to be a historic drama titled Mehrunissa. Based on the life of the twentieth (and last) wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir, Nur Jahan who was born as MehrunNissa. The project was a digital series for Ekta's OTT platform, and was also expected to be mounted as hitherto the biggest digital series, with Roy playing the eponymous character. There were even pictures of the two from reading sessions on social media. However, things went downhill thereafter.

In 2019, it was reported that Krystle D'Souza has stepped into the shoes of Mouni Roy to play the character. In fact, when BollywoodLife had contacted Krystle about the project, she had cut the call hearing the question. However, it now seems things are clearer about the show.

Recently, when BollywoodLife got in touch with Mouni, she cleared the air that the project is not happening. "I don't think it's happening. I don't have any news about it," Mouni exclusively told BollywoodLife.

Interestingly, there's also whispers that Mouni could be playing the female lead in the Aamir Khan-led Mogul, a film based on T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar. However, the actress denied being approached for the movie. "I'm not doing it. Unfortunately, it's untrue. I've not even been called for this movie."

During the course of the conversation, we also asked Mouni about her upcoming magnum opus, Brahamastra. Mouni, who plays the antagonist in the film, revealed how she is completely unaware of that project. "Hopefully, it's releasing next year." Will it be India's answer to the Marvel films? Mouni replied, "I don't know. I'm the wrong person to answer that."
