A pup decided the fate of an actress to be cast in the role for the film Bheja Fry.The director preferred Bhairavi Goswami over Kim Sharma only because she had the right dog.

The director was supposed to cast Kim Sharma in his film to play a character, Suman Rao, who is a melodramatic socialite and a wannabe singer,trying hard to woo the owner of a music company.

"I had Kim in mind to play the role since she's got a famous social life. I had extensive talks with her and she agreed but the deal was getting very difficult to finalise. Meanwhile, we were writing the scenes for the socialite who had a dog," says Director Sagar Ballary, the director of Bheja Fry.

The director was on the lookout for a suitable dog. His costume designer Priya Agni came to his rescue suggesting Bhairavi Goswami's dog.

"Priya suggested that we use Bhairavi's dog and that is when I remembered Bhairavi, the Gladrags winner. She's much talked-about in social circles. I thought of casting Bhairavi for the role and she also had the right dog!" says the director.

Then lightening struck."I thought of casting Bhairavi because of her dog but luck was not on our side as on the very first day, James Bond, the dog died. She was in an extreme state of shock after its death and refused to do the film. But we somehow hired another dog and got the film going," says Sagar.
