THRILLS: Poorna

CONQUERING SPEED        Actress Poorna seems to have conquered her fear of speed. literally and otherwise. And we don't say that just because her career graph seems to be soaring high (the actress has at least eight films in her kitty at the moment. including Naran, drohi, Aadu Puli, Vellore Mavattam, Arjunan Kadhali and Vitthagan). the actess claims that she can now travel by any vehicle, unmindful of te speed. But how did she gain this confidence? Says the actress grinning, "In Vitthagan, there's a sequence in which I had to sit on a seat that was positioned right in front, between the jeep's headlights. In the film, Parthepan sir is shown driving the jeep really fast to scare me, but then, I'm shown enjoying the drive. However, while filming the scene, I kept screaming in fright. Still, I managed to do it. Similarly, in Aadu Puli, there's a sequence in which I was made to sit aon a bike that was racing forward at break neck speed. All these experiences have made me bold. Now, I'm confident I can travel by any vehicle, no matter at what speed it travels,"
