The lass, who has done a bit role in Anjaana Anjaani, a Tamil film, and a few small Hollywood films and TV series, is thrilled at the way the plum role landed in her inbox. Yes, Pooja was approached by Kamal Hasan on the internet and auditioned on Skype, that too in bad lighting. “It was pretty cool. He kept telling me to adjust the lighting in the room,” says Pooja.

At the start, she apparently thought that Kamal’s film was a Hannibal Lecter sort of thriller film. “I thought I was one of the victims in such a film. Sir convinced me it was nothing like that.” Pooja didn’t take long to make up her mind though.
