Mouni Roy wants to focus only on films now

Mouni Roy has her plate full. The actress, who forayed into the entertainment world in the mid 2000s with the popular television show ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and went on to act in several hit TV shows, including Naagin, which made her a household name, is now full fledged film actress. While she was last seen ‘Gold’ starring Akshay Kumar on the big screen in which she made her film debut, she will next be seen in ‘Romeo Akbar Walter’, which releases this week.
In a recent interview, the pretty actress was asked whether she was missing acting in television shows and she said that although she enjoyed her stint on TV, films were a priority now. In fact, fans were disappointed not to see her in the second season of ‘Naagin’, which she quit to shoot her film assignments. Mouni said that ‘Naagin’ had become a big brand now and as long as its producer Ekta Kapoor was around, the show would continue to flourish. The actress added that while she missed acting in the show, at this stage in her professional career, she couldn’t afford to allocate almost nine months at a stretch for a TV show. And if she decided to do that, her film commitments would suffer, something that she wasn’t comfortable doing.
Apart from Robbie Grewal’s ‘Romeo Akbar Walter’, which stars John Abraham and Jackie Shroff, Mouni will also be seen in Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra’ starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna Akkineni. She has also been signed on for ‘Bole Chudiyan’ opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui and ‘Made In China’ opposite Rajkummar Rao.
