Mouni
Roy
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
the
ZEE5
Original
film,
London
Confidential.
The
actress
in
the
suspense
thriller
will
be
seen
playing
a
RAW
agent
who
is
trying
to
find
the
mole
in
the
ranks.
Mouni
in
a
conversation
with
Filmibeat
talked
about
her
character
Uma,
and
the
experience
of
working
on
set
in
a
post-pandemic
world.
Mouni
revealed
that
the
film's
shooting
took
place
in
London
as
soon
as
the
lockdown
was
lifted.
"We
had
to
follow
all
the
government
rules
and
regulations.
We
were
one
of
the
first
production
teams
from
India
at
the
time
after
the
pandemic.
For
the
first
two-three
days,
all
of
us
were
pretty
nervous.
We
soon
realised
if
we
follow
the
rules
we
won't
fall
sick
and
none
of
us
did.
But
I
have
done
so
many
swap
tests
during
the
shooting,
there
was
one
test
every
week
for
the
actors."
She
also
revealed
the
shooting
lasted
for
a
month
and
the
team
took
special
precautions.
"We
even
rehearsed
in
a
separate
space
to
follow
social
distancing.
Other
departments
only
worked
one
at
a
time,
and
I
guess
it
is
a
new
world
so
we
have
to
get
used
to
the
new
regulations.
It's
funny
but
at
first
few
days
we
didn't
even
recognise
anyone
because
everyone
was
wearing
masks
and
we
could
only
tell
who's
who
by
their
voices.
Even
then,
all
the
nervousness
and
fear
aside,
I
was
really
excited
to
go
back
to
work
and
be
on
set,"
added
the
Gold
actress.
Mouni
On
Her
Character
Uma
The
film's
trailer
released
last
week,
which
gave
a
glimpse
of
Roy's
character
Uma.
The
secret
agent
in
the
trailer
can
be
seen
walking
across
a
supermarket
with
a
pregnant belly.
Confirming
the
same,
Mouni
said,
it
made
the
character
interesting.
"Yes,
she
is,
and
that
shows
the
urgency
of
the
matter.
It
indicates
how
the
times
are
crucial,
she
is
five-six
months
pregnant
but can't
go
back
home
to
her
family.
Uma
does
have
a
few
nuances
which
are
nothing
like
Mouni.
They
(agents) work
so
purposefully
towards
the
country
and
future,
always
alone
but
never
lonely.
It
was
interesting
to
see
her
passion
for
the
country
and
the
work
Uma
does.
She
is
so
ordinary
but
extraordinary."
Mouni
Will
Be
Seen
Playing
A
RAW
Agent
"Plus
having
used
the
fake
belly
I
was
able
to
understand
the
restrictions
that
she
would
face
as
an
agent
the
things
she
can
and
cannot
do.
It
was
an
interesting
character
and
there
were
some
challenges.
We
didn't
have
the
time
to
prep
for
it
much
and
there
were
no
workshops
because
of
the
lockdown.
There
was
a
lot
of
back
and
forth
with
the
director
through
zoom
calls,"
Mouni
added.
