It is learnt that ex-Miss India Poonam Dhillon will be making her comeback in Anurag Singh directed Yash Raj film playing Shahid Kapoor’s mom. It can be recalled that Poonam originally hailing from Chandigarh was a Yash Chopra discovery debuting in Trishul (1978). The yet untitled Yash Raj film stars Rani Mukerji in the lead and has cricket as its central theme.
Despite several attempts, while Poonam refused to comment, we got to know from her close friend that she was first slated to make a comeback with Anees Bazmee’s romantic comedy Its My Life playing Harman Baweja’s mom. But she opted out of the film at the last minute on understanding her role wasn’t that important. But soon she got an offer from Yash Raj and she just could not say a NO to her former mentor. It is also learnt that Poonam now wants to take up acting seriously and has also started shooting for a Tamil film.
Poonam was last seen in Boney Kapoor’s Judaai in a special appearance as Sreedevi’s friend.
