Mumbai:
Pretty lady Pooja Kumar is thrilled at the way a role in Vishwaroopam landed in her inbox.
Yes, Pooja was approached by Kamal Haasan on the internet and auditioned on Skype, that too in bad lighting. (Watch: First look of Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam)
"It was pretty cool. He kept telling me to adjust the lighting in the room," Pooja said.
At the start, she apparently thought that Kamal Haasan's film was a Hannibal Lecter sort of thriller film. (Read: Kamal Haasan mixes dance and thrills in Vishwaroopam)
"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.
"Working with Kamal sir is a dream come true. I must have done some good karma in my past life to have earned this opportunity. He is truly a legend," she said. (Pics: Kamal Haasan shoots in Mumbai for Vishwaroopam)
The only disappointment in her role in the epic film, Pooja thinks, is the lack of action.
"Oh, everyone apart from me have a lot of action stunts to do. I am just a damsel in distress. But since I play a nuclear scientist, I suppose I am at least a smart damsel in distress," she said.
