Pooja Bhatt

After Rog, actress-turned-director Pooja Bhatt is moving on to her next film, Holiday. Produced and directed by Pooja, the film will be shot in Goa in one schedule. Pooja leaves with her cast and crew on May 15.

This film seems to be inspired by the popular Sony serial Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. Like JJKN, Pooja's film too traverses the trials and tribulations of a gawky plain Jane and her final triumph over all obstacles.

Pooja's protagonist even has the same initials as Mona Singh who plays Jassi. Muskaan Suri is to play the lead role.

Jassi was kept tightly under the wraps by the channel before the show launched, and Bhatt is going down the same road too.

"I am not going to reveal her in person, nor I am parting with her picture until I have shot at least 15-20 days with her," she says. "Actually, she hasn't even gotten her portfolio done."

But her possessiveness becomes stark when she turns down our offer of sending a photographer across.

Justifying her choice of picking a girl from her family, Pooja offers, "Muskaan has been near me for a long time, but I never thought I would give her a break. It just happened. I needed a plain Jane for this role and she suited the part."

Does the film have any personal experiences like her father Mahesh Bhatt always weaves into his films? "I would be extremely vain to want to tell my story because I haven't seen life at a level as close as my father has.

If some years down the line, I feel that I have something to narrate about my life and have the courage to say it, I just might. But right now, I don't think I have a personal story to tell."

Who is Muskaan Suri?

Muskaan is Pooja's niece and Mohit Suri's (Zeher's director) 22-year-old sister. Muskaan's real name is Shruti, but she is known in the family by her pet name Smiley.

Since Muskaan is in tandem with Smiley, her screen name will be Muskaan.
