Actress Poonam Kaur will be seen in the role of Radha in her Bollywood debut 3 Dev, and the first look poster of the film was revealed recently. Directed by Ankoosh Bhatt, the actress is paired opposite Karan Singh Grover.
“I always wanted to play a historical role in Bollywood. I actually got a call from the filmmakers three years ago. The director spoke to me for a few minutes and I was on board. I did not even audition for the film, and it was unbelievable,” shares Poonam, adding, “My first shot was filmed at the Brahma Kumaris ashram at Mount Abu in Rajasthan. It’s a place I go to every year, so I felt like my prayers were finally answered.”
Talking about her role, she says, “I play 25-year-old Radha and I don’t speak much in the film. Since I shot for it three years ago, I look hefty, but I am glad to be part of a film that talks about the sanctity of thoughts. To be playing Radha in this time and age is a bit difficult, but I am glad that I pulled it off.”
Working with Karan has been an enriching experience for Poonam. “He’s a cool co-star and we had great memories shooting for the film. In fact, Ravi Dubey, Raima Sen and I went on top of Mount Abu chanting and it was one of the most wonderful times I ever had,” she signs off.
