Kangana is playing a very unique role in her upcoming movie ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbai’. She reveals that her character is a cross between Haji Mastan’s wife, Sona and beauty Madhubala.

 

 

Kangana’s list of screening for underworld movies adds another creation called ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’ after ‘Gangster’.

 

Kangana says, "In real life Haji was a big fan of Madhubala-ji and he fell in love with Sona who looked like her. So my character is a cross between the two.”

 

She further adds “The character I am playing has some similarities with Madhubala-ji...like the way she was a superstar and had problems in life.”

 

Kangana plays the character of Rehana in the film and she attempts to totally transform into the beautiful woman from a star, who becomes the lover of a Gangster.

 

She adds about her character, "Rehana is a very big star...she is the woman who evokes desire in everyone and then she falls in love with this gangster and discovers a new world. My character transforms from a star to a woman."

 

She is playing the character of a girl from seventies and tries to imbibe as much as possible from the actresses of that era.

Kangana adds “I observed 70's actresses like Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi... they were the rebels who wore bikinis and were style icons. My character is somehow like them.”

 

Kangana, on the other hand is very moody in her personal life and doesn’t really price her B-Town existence.

 

Kangana further adds, "I'm a very moody person. There are times when I want to talk about my life whereas there are days I just want to be left alone.”

 

She adds “I'm a very moody person. There are times when I want to talk about my life whereas there are days I just want to be left alone.”

 

She is basically a very simple person and her comments make it clearer.

 

She adds,” I don't put myself on Twitter to see how many people are crazy about me. I don't like to blow kisses at my fans to show that I am a diva. This whole idea of diva doesn't turn me on.”

 

“I share a very personal relationship with my fans and my close ones. Even when I meet people who appreciate my work, I talk to them as I talk to everyone else. That is the way I have always been.”

 

 

 The movie is releasing on July 30 and reminisces the moments of the 70’s through the eyes of a police officer. It’s a movie directed by Milan Luthra and it shows the rise of the gangster, Sultan (Ajay Devgan) and his fall thereafter.
