Kangana Ranaut is set for a brush with the underworld on screen once again after Gangster. She reveals that her character in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai is a cross between don Haji Mastan's wife Sona and yesteryear beauty Madhubala.

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

"The character I am playing has some similarities with Madhubala... like the way she was a superstar and had problems in life."

Her character might be similar to that of Madhubala but Ranaut was inspired by other yesteryear's heroines too for the role.

"I observed '70s actresses like Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi... they were the rebels who wore bikinis and were style icons. My character is somehow like them," she said.

On her personal life, Ranaut is candid. "I really don't care what people think of me and how they perceive me. That is OK with me because I don't make an extra effort to be friendly to people. I do things I like doing.

"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."
