Mouni flies to London for film shoot, admits being ‘nervous’

After being stuck in the UAE for about four months, actor Mouni Roy has finally gone to London, UK, for the shoot of a film, details of which she says “will be revealed by the makers soon”.

Sharing her experience of taking a flight for the first time after the lockdown, Roy admits that it was quite “unnerving”. She tells us, “We are calling it the new normal while waiting for the new world, but it’s not just as much fun as it used to be. I used to look forward to long flights as I like reading and watching movies and sleeping in between. But the experience was not like that at all. Guess it will take some time getting used to this manner of travel.”

The actor will now be stationed in London for a month, as the makers plan to do some prep this week before commencing the shoot. Asserting that she isn’t yet sure about when she’ll be able to return to Mumbai, Roy, 34, says, “I don’t really know how the situation would be. I will be able to decide a week prior to the shoot’s end, depending on international flights and the situation in Mumbai, and then I’ll take a call.”

While she is excited to resume her work, the actor does have some concerns about shooting amid the pandemic. “I am quite petrified and nervous as actors are the only people on a set who can’t wear any masks or gloves while shooting. But I was dying to work and be on the set, so we kind of have to get used to the new normal,” the actor shares.

Indeed, hoping for the best and planning to take it one day at a time, she adds, “I’ll know and understand better as we start shooting. I have been promised that all safety measures would be taken and social distancing would be practised on the set.”
