Pooja touched many a hearts with her performance as a visually challenged girl in Bala's "Naan Kadavul". And now, if one has to go by what sources say, the actress has been roped in to play a crucial role in the director's next.

Titled "Eriyum Thanal", the movie already has Atharva and Vedhika (of "Kaalai" fame) in pivotal roles. 'Pooja has been signed for the project for another important character. She is thrilled about it,' add sources.

Pooja, who made her acting debut in Kollywood with Charan directed Madhavan starrer "Jay Jay", was part of movies like "Attagasam"  with Ajith and Seeman's "Thambi" with Madhavan. She is not seen in Kollywood scene in the recent past.

The pretty actress was seen in a de-glamed role in "Naan Kadavul". Now the big question is that what would be her role in "Eriyum Thanal". Already there are rumours doing rounds that Vedhika has been asked to go tan for the movie and for that, she is standing under the hot sun for hours.
