Mouni Roy over the Moon on playing Nayantara in ‘Sultan of Delhi’

Actress Mouni Roy, who will be playing the role of Nayantara in the forthcoming OTT series ‘Sultan of Delhi’, is over the moon with the fact that she got to play a highly stylised character.
Milan Lutharia’s ‘Sultan of Delhi’ is all set to release on 13th October on Disney Hotstar with an impressive star-cast comprising of Mouni Roy, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anjum Sharma and Vinay Pathak. The series is co-written and co-directed by Suparn Verma of ‘The Family Man’ fame.
Mouni, who started her career with Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, has come a long way since then. From ‘Mahadev’ to ‘Naagin’, she has featured in many successful shows. Her role in ‘Brahmastra-Part 1 Shiva’ also garnered a lot of praise from audience.
Now, her fans are all awaiting to watch Mouni, as Nayantara in ‘Sultan of Delhi’. Speaking about her experience in the series, she says, “When I first met Milan Lutharia Sir for this role, I was hoping to get this role. I loved the way Nayantara navigates the path in her life. The series is based on ‘Sultan of Delhi: Ascension' by Arnab Ray. When I read the book, I found the character of Nayantara to be amazing and that’s what attracted me towards the role. I am very happy to play Nayantara.”
Mouni will be seen dancing in jazz and cabaret genres in the series. She shares her excitement, saying, “I was very eager to know in which song I will be dancing. Milan Sir was precise about what he wants from us. When I heard the original background, I knew this song is going to be popular. I have done Jazz, probably for the first time. I have really worked hard on mastering it and I must admit it was quite challenging.”
She further adds, “Though, I could not get the chance to work with Suparn Verma, in this series but it was a lifetime experience for me to be a part of ‘Sultan of Delhi’ and work with Milan Sir. He is someone whom I respect a lot, and at the same time, he is our buddy with whom we can discuss everything.”
