Pooja is hoping for the best

ACTRESS Pooja Chopra, left, is happy to be working with Sidharth Malhotra and Neeraj Pandey in Aiyaary and hopes the “best comes out of the film” for her.

Aiyaary is based on a true story about two strong-minded army officers with completely different views, yet right in their own ways.

The film portrays Sidharth as an army officer sharing a mentor-protégé bond with Manoj Bajpayee.

“At this point, I won’t be able to talk much about Aiyaary or my role in it. All I can say is I’m delighted to be working with my all time favourite director, Neeraj Pandey, once again and the film boasts a stellar cast like Naseeruddin Shah, Manoj, Anupam Kher and Sidharth. I am ecstatic,” Pooja said.

The actress added: “I’m only praying for the best to come out of the film for me.” Pooja featured in Fashion, Heroine, Commando and Pandey’s short film Ouch.

She has not planned her way forward in Bollywood.

“I am not in the least bit of a planner, things never go as per plans I will take things as they come and go with the flow hoping for the best to come my way,” Pooja said.

Talking about her fitness regime, Pooja said: “I work out at least five days a week and it’s a combination of functional, weights and cardiovascular exercises. I do outdoor trainings on days I get bored to see the gym. I am a firm believer in eating what you want as long as it’s in moderation and you burn it. And Jumbo King does feature on the top of the list on my cheat days, I must confess.”
