Ritesh Sidhwani on casting Mouni Roy in ‘Gold’

Popular TV actress Mouni Roy is making her B-town debut in Excel Entertainment’s ‘Gold’ which is currently mid-schedule in the UK. Ritesh Sidhwani from the production house recently spoke about casting Roy in the role.

“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,” said Sidhwani, according to Hindustan Times. He was attending the success party of web series ‘Inside Edge’.

The film will be moving on to an Indian shoot soon. Sidhwani confirmed, “After that, we will start in Punjab. But Gold is slated for August 2018 release”.

‘Gold’ stars Akshay Kumar, Kunal Kapoor and Amit Sadh to name a few.
