Salman Khan is set to launch his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma as reported by DNA. The 26-year-old will make his debut in Bollywood in a movie tentatively titled Raat Baaki. Earlier reports suggested that Aayush will romance Katrina Kaif in his first film. However, it has been reported that not Katrina Kaif, but TV hottie Mouni Roy will star opposite him.
Mouni Roy made her first Bollywood appearance with an item number in Tum Bin 2 (2016) where she appeared in the reprised version of famous Punjabi track Nachna Aunda Nahin, choreographed by Remo D’souza. She will next be seen opposite Akshay Kumar in Gold. Salman Khan, is apparently quite fond of the 31-year-old actress, who was also a part of TV feature Supernight with Tubelight.
Earlier DNA had reported that Salman had seen the same spark in Sonakshi Sinha when he launched her in Dabangg. He sees Mouni as being extremely desi, a traditional Indian heroine draped in a saree. ALSO READ: Mouni Roy Will Never Ditch The Television Industry, Actress Confirms
Mouni has been receiving a lot of attention of late, and it bodes well for her future in Bollywood now that she already has another film lined up after Gold. In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actress was asked whether films were always her aim, to which she said, “I am not ambitious at all, but I am passionate about my work. Who doesn’t want to do better in life? When you’re an actor, you want better roles and better projects. You want to put your mind to use and push yourself creatively. Films let you play different characters, unlike in daily soaps, where you play one role for a long time. Having said that, TV has given me my life. It is my bread and butter. It is my place of worship, so I am forever indebted to the television industry and Ekta ma’am (Kapoor; producer).”
