M ouni Roy is making her big Bollywood
debut with Excel Entertainment's
forthcoming film Gold. Producer Ritesh
Sidhwani says she has bagged the role on
the basis of her talent and not on anyone's
recommendation. His comment has come
amidst the buzz that superstar Salman Khan
recommended her.
Sidhwani, who was present at the success
bash of his web series Inside Edge, was
asked if Mouni's selection was on the basis
of any recommendation, he said, "To be
honest, nobody recommended her. She is
talented... It's like taking away someone's
talent by saying that somebody
recommended her. She was actually
auditioned for that part and she gave a
fantastic audition. We all -- Farhan (Akhtar),
Reema (Kagti) and everyone watched the
audition and we chose her. So, just like all
others, she was actually auditioned and
after that she got the part. It was not based
on recommendations.
Sidhwani also confirmed that Mouni is
playing the lead role with Akshay Kumar,
and that the film is at present being shot in
Leeds. He said the shoot in Leeds will go on
till August end. "After that, we will start in
Punjab. But Gold is slated for August 2018
release.
When asked about Fukrey 2 and Don 3,
Sidhwani said, "Fukrey Returns is releasing
on December 8, and as far as Don' is
concerned, we definitely want to make it,
but the story is not yet locked. As soon as
the story is locked, we will do it.
