Mouni Roy is now reveling in the success of her most recent film, Brahmastra. The actress was questioned about her role as Junoon, the villain. She highlighted the #BoycottBrahmastra movement that troubled the picture before its premiere and responded to those making fun of her film's appearance in an interview with News 18. She also discussed sharing the screen with three celebrities (Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Shah Rukh Khan).

The actress spoke about the boycott movement and said, “It didn’t bother me but I would wonder why somebody would write such things even without watching the film first. If you watch it and then don’t like it, you can express so. But these are all phantom people, who are hiding behind their screens. They don’t have anything else to do.”

Mouni also discussed how her appearance in the movie drew comparisons to a "cheap version" of the Marvel Comics Universe character Wanda Maximoff. While acknowledging that she had read them, she dismissed the similarities.

On the other hand, Mouni is awestruck by veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna. She claims she was taken aback when Nagarjuna complimented her during the promotional tour of Hyderabad. Mouni added, “I love Nagarjuna sir. I was so surprised to hear him complimenting me. I was just sitting there listening to everyone and he suddenly he said something nice about me and I went, ‘Wow, really?’”

She remarked of her experience working with SRK, “He’s was someone I was completely amazed by. He was the most charming, intelligent and spontaneous human being and actor that I’ve met. He’s brilliance personified." She continued by saying that King Khan was so compassionate that he used to answer all of the questions she used to ask him nearly everyday. Mouni further stated that Shah Rukh loved everyone around him and that everybody was in amazement of the superstar.

She admitted that despite working with Big B, she was taken aback by the veteran actor.
