Actress Pooja Sree to foray into Mainstream Cinema, looks for 2014 Last Quarter to be the best period in her career!

Coming from a non-filmy background & making a debut in movie is not a simple task & specially in today’s world where recommendation or the privilege of being a star kids or having a God-father gives you an added advantage & no matter how talented you are, it takes big courage & patience to make the presence felt.

Actress Pooja Sree is one of those actress who is trying to make a difference to the likes of Kangana Ranaut, Vidya Balan or Meena Kumari whose acting skill overshadowed the rest. Pooja is confident to be in that leap.
