Mahi in Zanjeer remake

DIRECTOR APOORVA LAKHIA, who is busy finalising the cast of the Zanjeer remake, says Mahi Gill was initially not keen on playing Mona Darling in the film, which goes on the floors on May 13.

“We have roped in Mahi for Mona Darling’s role which was played by Bindu (in the original). However, Mahi didn’t want to play Mona Darling. I had to convince her. Later she sent me a text that she wants to do the role,” he said.

“The leading lady of the film will be finalised shortly,” Lakhia added.
