Filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor's girlfriend Pragya, who is debuting in Bollywood with "Hawaa Hawaai", says she liked the script and agreed to do it for emotional reasons.
Directed by Amol Gupte "Hawaa Hawaai" also features Saqib Saleem, Makrand Deshpande, Partho Gupte among others.
"I just fell in love with the script and it was completely emotional decision to be part of the film," Pragya, who was brought up in Sweden and came to India to find her roots, told IANS.
"I am paired opposite Saqib in the film. It's a small part but an interesting one. We have shot few portions, but the climax scene is left to shoot," added the newcomer who is taking lessons from Mukesh Chhabra and Makrand.
Originally a model, Pragya was lured to acting after "Kai Po Che".
She said: "I was fascinated towards acting when we were crafting the process of 'Kai Po Che'. Now I am enjoying acting thoroughly and with stars like Makrand Deshpande, Saqib among others, it's a complete learning experience for me."
