Kamal Haasan has finally zeroed in on the leading lady for his magnum opus Viswaroopam. Pooja Kumar has been roped in by the ace actor to play his lady love in his directorial venture. The girl from New York has won several beauty pageants and is an ardent theatre artist.

Pooja, who is extremely thrilled about working with a great actor like Kamal, says, "When I look back, I believe that it’s my good karma that got me this film. I must have done something good in my previous life. That's why an offer like Viswaroopam has landed up with me."

Unable to control her happiness, she says, "I cannot say no to doing a Tom Cruise movie. And I reacted similarly when offered a movie with Mr Haasan. Directors have their way of choosing actors. Personally, I have never questioned him about the reason for casting me."
