It would be a happy festival of lights for actress Poonam Bajwa this Deepavali.

The girl from Pune is eagerly awaiting the release of her maiden Tamil venture 'Seval' opposite Bharath.

She has also got 'Thenavattu' opposite Jeeva ready for release soon. "In 'Thenavattu', I am a modern girl from the city and it's the exact opposite in 'Seval' where I am a village girl, innocent yet cute," she grins.

She is all thrilled about working with Hari for 'Seval'. "He is so dedicated; he shows us everything we need to do. Even if it means rolling in the mud, he does it himself to demonstrate what he expects from us. He is truly amazing to work with."

A great admirer of films like 'Moondram Pirai', 'Paruthiveeran' and 'Subramaniyapuram' , she hopes to emote in more quality films and leave a mark for herself in Kollywood.
