In
an
interview
about
two
weeks
back,
Pooja
Bhatt
had
said
that
she
had
first
met
Muzamil
at
the
music
release
party
of
film
Holiday
where
he
had
"come
on
someone
else's
pass".
While
returning
from
the
event,
she
thought
about
casting
him
in
Dhokha.
But
why
would
a
well-established
model
like
Muzamil
want
to
gatecrash
into
parties
seeking
a
break
in
films?
That's
exactly
Muzamil
thinks
too.
"I
am
not
a
desperate
wannabe
who
needs
to
do
such
a
thing.
And
I
am
hardly
seen
in
the
party
circuit."
When
he
learnt
that
it
was
none
other
than
director
Pooja
who
had
made
the
statement
the
actor
remarked:
"It's
so
stupid
on
Pooja's
part
to
have
made
such
a
cheap
comment.
I
had
started
getting
offers
for
movies
on
the
12th
day
of
my
arrival
in
Mumbai.
But
then
I
was
not
ready
for
acting,
I
wanted
to
give
time
to
my
modeling
career."
He
further
clarified
that
it
was
Pooja
who
showed
willingness
to
cast
him
in
her
movie
and
hence
a
meeting
was
arranged,
while
it
was
Mahesh
Bhatt
who
much
later
decided
his
lead
role
in
Dhokha.
"Mr.
Bhatt
wrote
the
character
after
meeting
me.
I
respect
him
for
his
intelligence
and
generosity.
He
knows
exactly
how
to
groom
a
newcomer.
What
Pooja
said
in
the
interview
was
cheap,
I
didn't
expect
this
at
all."
We
hope
at
least
now
Pooja
will
learn
that
not
every
newcomer
is
a
complete
greenhorn.
For
one,
Muzamil
has
just
turned
the
tables
on
her.
