Pooja Kumar auditioned for 'Vishwaroopam' on Skype

13th June 2012

When something is destined for you it comes to you even if your doors are closed; maybe through the windows, the roof or even Skype! 

As uncanny as it sounds actress Pooja Kumar was auditioned by Kamal Hassan for 'Vishwaroopam' on Skype. With a small role in 'Anjaana Anjaani' and a few Hollywood flicks and Tv Series in her bag, Pooja caught eye of the veteran director and was approached by him on internet. 

"It was pretty cool. He kept telling me to adjust the lighting in the room," says Pooja remembering how strange yet fun it was. 

A lot of B-Town actresses including Deepika Padukone had turned down the role out and out. Looks like their loss turned out to be Pooja’s gain who is thrilled to appear on screens with Kamal Hassan. 

Pooja Kumar plays a nuclear scientist in the spy thriller, although she wished she had some action in the film, "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."
