I had initially refused to play Mona Darling: Mahie
Mahie Gill is excited to do her first movie where she will only have to play a glam doll.
Mahie Gill is busy these days, having begun to shoot for the sequel of Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster. In the pipeline is the remake of Zanjeer where she will reprise the role of Mona Darling. Speaking about her forthcoming roles, she says, “It will be interesting to act with Irrfan again for Sahib, Biwi Aur Gangster.

I have worked with him in Paan Singh Tomar. He is a fine actor and doesn’t put any pressure on his co-actors. Tigmanshu’s film also has Soha.”
While Mahie was more than eager to do Tigmanshu’s film, she admits to have initially shied away from doing the remake of Zanjeer. “I have never imagined of doing such a role where I only have to look good. I have been associated with films where I have a no makeup look. But this is completely different. Initially, I had refused to do this role too. But it was the director who showed a lot of confidence in me. Now, I see it as a challenge since I’ll be doing what I haven’t done before. Shooting for my portions of Zanjeer is expected to begin on June 30.”
