Getting to star opposite Akshay Kumar, one of the most bankable actors in Bollywood is a dream of many girls, but it is Mouni Roy who gets to have it fulfilled.

Yes, we know Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt are the lead pair in the upcoming Ayan Mukerji’s film Brahmastra, and it also has megastar Amitabh Bachchan, obviously in a leading role. But does so many big names worry Mouni about her role? Absolutely Not. While not much has been revealed about the film slated to release next year, but Mouni’s fans are confident about the filmmaker to do justice with the talent like the TV actress and would not waste her. Mouni has completed the first schedule in Bulgaria shooting with Ranbir and Alia and looks forward to shooting with Mr Amitabh Bachchan. “I’ve worked with Ranbir and Alia but am yet to shoot with Bachchan sir (Amitabh Bachchan who is also a part of Brahmastra). When I do, I will be so nervous I’ll probably hide in a corner (laughs)," the actor said.

Coming to her most recent signing and probably with the most versatile actor of the present generation, Rajkummar Rao. As per reports, Made In China is a comedy flick by Dinesh Vijan and will see Rajkummar as a struggling Gujarati businessman who travels to China to get his business started. "Mouni has been reportedly roped to star opposite Rajkummar Rao in the film. While it is unclear what role she is essaying, it is clear that the actress has bagged her third major film,'' the sources said. Vijan is the director of Raabta and successful producer of Being Cyrus, Love Aaj Kal, Cocktail, Go Goa Gone, Finding Fanny, Badlapur and Hindi Medium.

While many would dub Mouni’s success as being lucky and that she has hit the jackpot, but one must look at her long journey, where she did not stop working hard, never stopped believing in her capabilities and most importantly, never stopped being a humble person. From acknowledging her mentors like Ekta Kapoor to remaining professional, Mouni did it all, and finally, it is paying off for her.
