Mouni Roy on overshadowing Ranbir-Alia in 'Brahmastra' - 'I cannot even imagine a thought like that'

Mouni Roy, who recently appeared as the antagonist Junoon in director Ayan Mukerji's fantasy epic 'Brahmastra', responded to discourse about her having 'overshadowed' the bigger names in the film's cast. The film, led by Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, also features stalwarts such as Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Shah Rukh Khan. Mouni got a chance to share scenes with them all.

In an interview with a leading entertainment news portal, Roy was asked how she feels about being singled out in some reviews as the film's top performer, to which she replied, "I am the biggest Ranbir-Alia fan. The biggest. It was an absolute pleasure to work with the two of them. No, I cannot even imagine a thought like that, to be honest. I genuinely feel both of them are on fire on screen. They're great, humble, kind and nice human beings."

She added, "They are so dedicated. They wouldn't leave the set and were always present for all the markings, rehearsals and lighting. When I've seen them like that and the kind of work that both of them have done in the film, I feel that they are magic together. So, you're asking the wrong person (this question)."

It is eventually revealed that while Mouni Roy's Junoon was the primary antagonist of 'Brahmastra', she's actually just a henchwoman herself, doing the bidding of the real villain, Dev. The character is teased in the film and will likely be involved in a more prominent role in the sequel.
