Pooja Hegde is reportedly being considered for director Anil Ravipudi’s next film, which will once again feature Venkatesh Daggubati in the lead role.
If finalized, this project will mark the fourth collaboration between Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh after F2, F3, and Sankranthiki Vastunnam.
Venkatesh also made a guest appearance in Anil Ravipudi’s recent blockbuster Bhagavanth Kesari.
Anil Ravipudi has previously paired Venkatesh with Tamannaah in F2 and F3.
In Sankranthiki Vastunnam, he cast Aishwarya Rajesh as Venkatesh’s wife and Meenakshi Chaudhary as his former lover.
Now, the latest buzz suggests that Pooja Hegde is a frontrunner for the female lead, with Keerthy Suresh also said to be in contention.
If Pooja Hegde comes on board as Venkatesh’s romantic interest, it would certainly be an unusual casting choice.
The two shared screen space earlier in the 2023 Bollywood film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, where Pooja played Salman Khan’s love interest and Venkatesh’s sister.
With talks still at an early stage, it remains to be seen whether Pooja Hegde will transition from playing Venkatesh’s sister to his on-screen lover in this Telugu entertainer.
