Hi Seema,
If the HCL is conducting an interview to you as a fresh CA with no knowledge of SAP, then definitely they will ask you on you knowledge related to CA related topics as 'AS', Business process flows... etc.
they may ask you as why you are interested to come to SAP?....... such type of questions may be asked.
