Balaji honcho Ekta Kapoor and Mouni Roy who had last collaborated on their super hit television show Naagin, made headlines again when there was buzz that they might come together for a Period web show Mehrunissa. While there were a few updates here and there, there have been none for a long time. Spilling beans is Mouni about her new show and below is what she had to say.
The show that was announced was a period drama based on the life of Jahangir’s twentieth and last wife Nur Jahan who was originally born as Mehrunissa. The project was touted to be a web series on Ekta Kapoor’s own platform and it was mounted on a huge scale. It was said that it will be the biggest series ever made in the Indian webspace.
The show was supposed to have Mouni playing the titular part. There were also pictures of her with Ekta during their reading sessions a long time back. But lately, the buzz around the project disappeared and the fate was unknown.

Now in a chat with Bollywood Life, Mouni when asked about Mehrunissa, said that it is not happening. She said, “I don’t think it’s happening. I don’t have any news about it,”
