Poonam Pandey to resume shooting

Poonam Pandey, whose film Malini and Co will release this month, is back in action after spraining her back during a rigorous training schedule of belly dancing. Poonam was enthusiastic about the belly dancing classes she was taking to get into the eponymous character in the film "Helen". But too much enthusiasm got the better of her when she twisted her back. Eventually the shooting had to be cancelled.

"We had set up a Rs.1 crore set at a Mumbai studio but we had to eventually dismantle it because Poonam was advised not to dance for a while. But now she is fine and we have planned another schedule this month," said producer Suresh Nakum.

The music-and-dance film is being written and directed by Ajit Rajpal, who had earlier also written Poonam-starer "Nasha".
