Director Wins Over Producers To Pick Up Pooja Hegde

Like we have revealed already, while Mythri Movie Makers are keen to rope in Rashmika Mandanna as the leading lady, director Harish Shankar, who has this special ‘abhimaanam’ on the dusky siren he gave life to, has finally succeeded with his choice. And this is happening for none other than Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film.

For the film “Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh”, Harish Shankar has joined hands with his Gabbar Singh for the second time. And right from the beginning, the director is promoting the name of Pooja Hegde as the leading lady, while producers have the other heroine in mind. But finally, Harish is said to have convinced both Pawan Kalyan and the producers and has officially declared other day that Pooja Hegde is the leading lady of BBS.

Back then, after Pooja Hegde was completely outcast by Tollywood producers as none of her films clicked at the box office, it is Harish Shankar who gave a new life to her with DJ Duvvada Jagannadham. Switching into a glamorous bikini avatar, Pooja took Tollywood by a storm and now became a star heroine who is charging nearly ₹ 3.5 crores per film. After DJ, Harish worked with her in Gaddlakonda Ganesh, and this is his third-time partnership with her.

For Pooja Hegde, it looks like she has one more tick completed by getting paired with Pawan Kalyan, while she has already shaken a leg with top stars like Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR and Prabhas as well.
