Last seen in Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam 2, actress Pooja Kumar has just signed her next project, The Invisible Mask, a Netflix film which will be directed by Priyadarshan, Anirudh, Pradeep Sarkar and Mahesh Manjrekar. Pooja’s portion has been directed by Priyadarshan.

 

Pooja is thrilled to bits for having got an opportunity to work with the national award-winning filmmaker on his film, which has a women-oriented subject. She said, "The fact that I got to work with Priyan sir is amazing. He is one of the best writers and has done around 200 movies. What I appreciate about him is that he has moved on with the times. He is not stuck in the 1980s or 90s. He is moving with youngsters and understands what is realistically happening with people today. That's why he is still making movies which are top class."

 

Talking about her role in the film, she said, “I play a modern-day woman who is from the middle-class. It's basically what happens in her life when she takes up a job in a cafe and she has to leave her marriage. It is what a lot of women are going through right now. Women are in that stage where they are like 'We want more out of life'. Thanks to the Internet, women are learning that they can have a family and also a career as well. The men too have to move with the times. That is what Priyan has addressed in this film."

 

Pooja said that Priyan has finished his story and that the other three directors are working on theirs.

 

"I am guessing it will take another four months for the film to release.” If the grapevine is anything to go by, Pooja is also part of Priyadarshan’s upcoming historical film based on the life of Kunjali Marakkar called Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham. Prod Pooja about it and she said, “Maybe, I’m not saying anything.”

 

Currently, she also has a project each in Telugu and Tamil.
