Kangana Ranaut is all set to reprise her role as a gangster’s moll in Once Upon a Time in Mumbai.
She is slated to star as the veteran actress Madhubala who was reportedly also Haji Mastan’s love interest.
Based on the life history of the underworld don of the 1960s, Haji Mastan, the film is being produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Films and directed by Milan Luthria.
Strangely enough, Kangana was the third choice for the film. The filmmakers had initially considered Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra for the role.
Ajay Devgan is also on board and will portray Haji Mastan, while Emraan Hashmi will play the young Dawood.
While there have been films in the past that have focused on Haji Mastan, like Deewar, this film will be the first to concentrate on the romantic angle between Haji Mastan and Madhubala.
Kangana had earlier played a gangster’s moll in Gangster. In that film too, Emraan Hashmi was one of her co-stars.
