Says Pooja, ‘Rather than saying Bala Sir is an excellent filmmaker, I would love ennobling him as a good human. He’s been a perfect guide out for me planning my each shot.

She says, ‘Lens were really troubling me as I couldn’t see anything from morning till evening. But once getting used to it, things were bit easier as I could identify things around me.’

Of course, it’s been Pooja redefining Bala with new dimensions who was adhered with misconceptions that he’s a strict person with hard nature…
