Pooja Gandhi is ready to don a swimsuit in her upcoming film, ‘Kodagana Kolinungitha’. She says that she has no problem wearing one. She is all set to sizzle in a swimsuit in her forthcoming Jaggesh flick.

“Obviously, it’s a situation in which I go swimming and the scene lasts for maybe a minute. I had no apprehensions about wearing a swimsuit because the director, Vasu, had informed me about it when he narrated the script to me. I was confident I could carry it off and was comfortable in it,” says Pooja.

Isn’t it a kind of break from her homely image she is so popular for? “Since the scene required it, I wore it. I can’t possibly wear a saree or a pair of jeans and a T-shirt in a swimming pool, can I? It has been shot aesthetically and there are no unwanted shots. I play a homely girl in this film too. It’s a family-oriented subject and I wear this costume in only one scene. I think my fans will understand that,” she adds.

Does that mean  that she is going the glam route? “When Madhuri wore a swimsuit, she looked graceful because she carried it off well. But when Mallika Sherawat wears one, she doesn’t look as good. I’m going the Madhuri way. As long as I’m portrayed well, I’m comfortable in it and till I’m in a pool, I’ll be fine. Besides, I know where to draw the line. I will not do anything that is obscene or that’ll embarrass family audiences,” she defends.
