Pooja in her mother tongue

Actress Pooja is currently acting in a Sinhalese film.

This glam doll of Kollywood who acted in movies including JJ, Attahasam and the recent Githan says "I am acting in a Sinhalese movie titled Anjalika.

"The director of the movie Janmaperaera had seen my performance in Attahasam and wanted me to do the film. Since I liked the story, I said yes".

On her role in Anjalika, Pooja says "it is a movie about romance between a poor mechanic’s son and a rich girl. Their love faces several protests.

I have enough scope to perform in the movie. The entire movie, but for a couple of song sequences, has been completed".
