<p>"I needed someone like Soha who has the looks that still have a new appeal despite being in the film industry, but could also bring in some maturity to her character.

She's done her job very well and I am so happy to have roped her in the project," he added.<br /><br />"Tum Mile" is a romantic movie about a couple stuck in the July 26, 2005, Mumbai deluge.<br />Co-produced by Sony Music and Vishesh Films, "Tum Mile" is Deshmukh's second directorial venture after "Jannat".<br /><br />"We needed to recreate the deluge and had to shoot in water for over 12 hours a day for 'Tum Mile', but rather than throwing tantrums, Soha showed exemplary levels of energy on the sets," said Deshmukh. <br /><br />"Soha was like GI Joe (military-themed action figure). She didn’t get tired at all and never stopped. She kept on working. She is one of those who would never give up,” he added.<br />Deskhmukh feels that Soha, who has appeared in films like “Rang De Basanti”, “Mumbai Meri Jaan” and “Ahista Ahista”, is yet to get her due in the Hindi film industry.<br /><br />“She has been very good in her career so far and is getting better.
