Pooja Hegde on ‘Mohenjo Daro’ failure: It helped me in improving my craft

Actress Pooja Hegde’s debut film ‘Mohenjo Daro’ along with co-star Hrithik Roshan did not do well at the box office. The actress confesses being heartbroken with the fate of the film. However, she is content getting the opportunity to learn from those who are considered best in the trade. She also expressed she worked hard and learned a lot from filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker.


Talking about the film she said, “When a film does not do well, it does set you back a bit. But then, it’s important to understand that not everything is in your hands. The only thing that is within your control is your effort. And I am happy with ‘Mohenjo Daro’. I worked hard and learnt so much from (filmmaker) Ashutosh Gowariker that it helped me in improving my craft. I got appreciated for being able to deliver opposite someone like Hrithik Roshan. That I could match steps with him was a huge thing. So, I have decided to move ahead and work harder.”


When asked about her further projects she said, “I would love to, but after ‘Mohenjo Daro’, I did not get anything interesting enough. Hopefully, something will happen soon. But, the film I am doing with Prabhas is bilingual, Hindi and Telugu. There are a few offers [from Bollywood], and as soon as I feel that this is the right step for me next, I will do it. Also, I think that if you have the talent then you will get the opportunity to showcase it.”
