Female spiritual leader inspired Poonam Jhawar’s role in latest film?
Poonam Jhawar’s role in the Akshay Kumar-Paresh Rawal starrer OMG Oh My God! is apparently based on a famous female spiritual leader of our times, we hear.
Poonam, who was last seen in films like Mohra (1994) and Aanch (2003), says, “I would not like to disclose what my role is all about. It surely has created a lot of buzz not only in the film industry, but also among the masses. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Akshay, Mithunda (Mithun Chakraborty), Pareshji, Govind Namdeo and Mahesh Manjrekar. But most importantly, it felt great to be seen on the big screen again.”
Debutant director Umesh Shukla, who recommended Poonam for the role, made her watch spiritual and devotional television channels to get the nuances right. He wanted her to observe how spiritual leaders talked and behaved in real life. Confirms Umesh, “Yes, it is true that I told Poonam to watch spiritual channels so that she could get a hang of her character. Her role is interesting. But I would not want to say anything beyond this.”
