Model Pooja Hegde, who is gearing up to make her Bollywood debut opposite Hrithik Roshan in 'Mohenjo Daro', was not director Ashutosh Gowariker's choice.

It was his wife, Sunita, who noticed her in a car commercial with Ranbir Kapoor and felt she would be ideal for the role.

There was no way Ashutosh could turn down his wife's recommendation. She does happen to be the film's producer after all.
