The sexy and vivacious Kaveri Jha who was last seen in Hijack opposite Shiney Ahuja was mistaken for a farm hand and villager in Ooty and even reprimanded asked to "get to work quickly".

In Kaveri own words, "Around mid-November, I was shooting in the fields of Ooty for a Tamil movie. My costumes and the outfit I was wearing were so natural and looked real, like any of the women working in the fields nearby.

During a break in the shoot, I went for a walk to breathe some fresh air. I was walking around some fields when a farm supervisor or 'mukadam' approached me and almost rebuked me in Tamil.

I didn't understand much but it was quite clear that he was scolding me for not working and rambling around. Initially, I didn't know how to react and just stood still. It took him a full five minutes to realize that I was an actress and not a local."

Apparently, Kaveri's crew and unit hands particularly the locals had a hearty laugh at her expense when she narrated the incident. The joke went on for a few days and spawned many other jokes all on Kaveri who was embarrassed but laughed it off.

Kaveri who played a chic, rich girl in Hijack falls in love with the pilot Shiney culminating in almost a fairy tale romance.

According to Kaveri's publicist, she is also doing a film with Priyadarshan called Bum Bum Bole which is an adaptation of the hit Iranian film 'Childrenof Heaven'.

She is also working on her fourth Telugu film project and is a big hit in the south. She is shooting almost 24 X 7 x 25 for her south films and has a couple of big Hindi film projects in the pipe line.
