Director Faruk Kabir is set to present his upcoming series Salakaar, a tale featuring a host of layered, dynamic characters. One such role will be played by Mouni Roy, with Kabir’s decision to cast her driven by both instinct and insight.
Director Faruk Kabir on casting Mouni Roy in Salakaar: “She’s more than her glamorous image”
Opening up about his choice, Kabir said, “Beyond her sexy perceived image, Mouni is a deeply spiritual and kind woman. She is one of the most well-behaved actors I’ve worked with, and her range as an actor is immense, provided she is offered more meaningful parts in good scripts.”
Mouni wasn’t originally cast in the role she currently plays. Kabir revealed, “I earlier offered Mouni another part in the series as it’s dense with very interesting characters, but then whilst reading with her, I felt she is more suited to the more layered character like the one she now plays. Also, this role is not about needing Mouni’s glamorous side, but more her venerable and earnest side of her personality.”
Faruk Kabir’s casting of Mouni Roy in Salakaar marks a shift from her usual roles, offering a character that explores emotional depth. As the show nears release, their collaboration hints at a different side of the actress and a grounded approach to storytelling.
