“He (Rajinikanth) is a highly respected superstar and nobody calls him by his name but address him only as a superstar,” she said.
Pooja played the role of a princess against Tamil actor Prashanth in “Ponnar Shankar”, scripted by former Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi and directed by Thiagarajan.
“He (Karunanidhi) was a scriptwright and producer. As I liked the script, I decided to act in this movie. Prior to this, I had acted in some Dabur Honey advertisement films,” she said.
When asked about her experience as playing a princess in the Rs 60 crore-budget movie, the actor said,”I was very thrilled that I was donning the role of a princess in a Tamil film.
