The audience saw actor Pooja Hegde wear gowns and heavy costumes in her epic drama film, Mohenjodaro. Now that she is done with the film, the actor wants to take up a film which the young generation can relate to.
“My biggest dream right now is to go on sets and just wear jeans and shirt. It would take me hours to get ready for this film. It took my me 25 minutes to just get into the costume. I want to play a nice young girl now. I really want to be able to say deliver dialogues in a casual tone like ‘arrey yaar’,” says Hegde, who played the role of princess Chaani alongside Hrithik Roshan, in the film directed by Ashutosh Gowariker.
