Mouni on playing Junoon in Brahmastra

"I guess they're two different questions. So, how I prepped for the role. To begin with, I had to unlearn a lot because Junoon was not is not like any other character I have ever played. Like you said, she's very powerful, but at the same time, her confidence is very... it's a quiet confidence. It is very inwardly, (and) there is no projection outside," Mouni said in an interview about prepping for the role.

"She should evoke a certain kind of fear or power just by standing there, just by looking. So, that was a very difficult character for me to understand to begin with, and then you know, then to kind of go and act. So, Ayan (Mukherji, director) was very clear from the beginning that he did not want it to be loud or caricature-ish, my acting," she further added.
