Venkatesh denies rumors about film with Pooja Hegde.
Entertainment: Recent rumors suggested that senior star Venkatesh would be paired with glamorous diva Pooja Hegde in director Anil Ravipudi’s upcoming film. However, sources close to the project have now completely dismissed these speculations. A source clarified, “These rumors are completely false and baseless. There was no such discussion.” The source further added that while Pooja Hegde did share screen space with Venkatesh and Varun Tej in the special song ‘Life Ante Ila Undale’ from F3, she has not signed any new film with Venkatesh. Meanwhile, Pooja Hegde has made a comeback to Tollywood and is currently busy with an exciting new project alongside Dulquer Salmaan. After working with top stars like Prabhas, Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan, she is now set to share the screen with Dulquer in an upcoming Telugu film. According to sources, Pooja was eagerly waiting for the right opportunity in Telugu cinema, and she has finally landed a powerful role opposite Dulquer, who has delivered a hat-trick of hits in the industry. This much-anticipated film will be directed by Ravi Nelakuditi and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri. Insiders say that Pooja has been given a well-written and impactful role, while Dulquer will be seen in a powerful, author-backed character in this romantic action drama. At the same time, Pooja is also consistently busy with big projects in Tamil cinema. After working with Vijay in Beast, she is collaborating with him again in Jana Gana Mana. She also received praise for her significant, de-glamorized role opposite Suriya in Retro. With the new pairing of Dulquer Salmaan and Pooja Hegde, expectations are very high, and many believe that this film could prove to be a massive comeback for her in Telugu cinema.
