The new face in Bollywood, Pooja Hegde found the chapter on Mohenjo Daro boring during her schooling and would have never thought of enacting it in her life. "I'd read the chapter on Mohenjo Daro in school and was so bored. I never imagined I will do a film based or set in that era. The younger generation is picking up history books again and are interested to know things" she said.
"This film is Ashutosh Gowariker's version of Mohenjo Daro. I think it will generate curiosity among audience about the story, the era," she added.
Pooja, who has earlier done films in South, said she is grateful to Gowariker and film's lead actor Hrithik Roshan for this grand debut in Bollywood.
"There are lot of girls who had great debut, but who had Hrithik Roshan? Thank you so much. Hrithik has been a very gracious person...He has been very promising. He was my friend whenever I needed help." She said.
Hrithik too was all praises for his co-star.
"The first time I met Pooja was during a photo-shoot where we both had to look into each other’s eyes, we had to romance. I was taken aback.
"The kind of courage and purity she got on screen struck me. She is a special and rare talent. I am sure she will go a long way," he said.
