Well, we are certainly excited to see this fresh pairing on the silver screen.
Interestingly, Mouni also divulged some details about her character in Bole Chudiyan and said, "While I can’t reveal much, I can just say that she’s a confident girl who thinks on her feet; she can ride a tractor and dance like a dream...
