The 24-year-old previously clarified that the film is not a biopic on yesteryear's dancing diva Helen. According to sources, there is a famous Helen dance number in "Helen", and Poonam has been doing workshops for the same. "This film is very close to my heart, I am more interested in doing content-driven films and this film has a very strong content. As of now, I am undergoing workshops and trying to learn some dance moves for a song in the film. It has been a tedious journey so far, and we shall start shooting by next month," said the actress, who first grabbed attention when she promised to strip down for the Indian team if they won the World Cup in 2011. "Helen", directed by Ajit Rajpal, is produced by Sureh Nakum and Vipin Medhekar under the banner of The World Networks.
