Here is an excerpt from an interview with Pooja Bhatt about her next release..YAY for Mona..but damn, poor heroine! 😳
Sid

lSo what is Holiday all about?
It's the classic story of an ugly duckling becoming a swan. But the transformation is not cosmetic. It is a completely internal metamorphosis. It's about how this girl, who is not comfortable with the way she is, meets a group of people on a vacation and how she is changed at the end of it all. Dino is a part of that group where she finds herself blending in with complete ease. It's like when you say, "I love you" to someone, you are telling that person how special you feel in her presence.
lThat sounds like Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. Do you fear comparisons with the soap?
Jassi, Iqbal, they are all stories about the underdog. They all fall in the same genre where the audiences feel bad for some character and want him or her to win against all odds. But in Holiday, the girl doesn't go for an exaggerated fake look like in Jassi. Also, Mona ordinarily is a gorgeous girl. Not so with my heroine Onjolee, who is an odd-looking animal.
