The
shoot
of
Sarileru
Neekevvaru,
directed
by
F2
fame
Anil
Ravipudi
and
starring
Mahesh
Babu
in
the
lead,
is
progressing
and
a
few
reports
had
come
up
regarding
a
special
dance
number
that
the
film
may
have.
Rumours
were
rife
that
popular
actress
Tamannaah
will
be
doing
this
special
song
from
the
film.
However,
the
latest
reports
that
have
come
up
reveal
that
not
Tamannaah
but
Pooja
Hegde
has
been
roped
in
for
the
same.
According
to
a
few
reports,
sources
close
to
the
unit
of
the
film
revealed
that
director
Anil
Ravipudi
has
approached
Pooja
Hegde
for
this
dance
number
in
the
Mahesh
Babu
starrer.
Reports
also
add
that
the
talks
are
progressing
and
it
will
be
an
introduction
song
featuring
Mahesh
Babu.
However,
no
official
confirmation
has
come
up
regarding
this
yet.
Meanwhile,
Pooja
Hegde
has
a
host
of
other
projects
in
the
pipeline
and
her
next
film
to
hit
theatres
will
be
Valmiki,
in
which
she
has
been
paired
opposite
Varun
Tej.
She
also
essays
the
leading
lady
in
the
Allu
Arjun
starrer,
Ala
Vaikuntapuramulo,
which
is
expected
to
have
a
clash
with
Sarileru
Neekevvaru
at
the
box
office
during
the
Sankranthi
season.
If
the
news
regarding
Pooja
Hegde's
association
with
Sarileru
Neekevvaru
turns
out
to
be
true,
it
would
be
the
second
time
that
the
actress
and
Mahesh
Babu
are
sharing
screen
space.
Earlier,
both
had
joined
hands
for
Mahesh
Babu's
previous
film
Maharshi,
which
had
hit
theatres
in
May
2019.
In
the
film,
Pooja
Hegde
had
essayed
the
role
of
the
leading
lady.
She
portrayed
a
character
named
Pooja
in
the
film.
Meanwhile,
Sarileru
Neekevvaru
features
Rashmika
Mandanna
as
the
leading
lady.
The
movie
also
marks
the
comeback
of
veteran
actress
Vijayashanthi,
who
will
be
seen
playing
a
strong
role
in
the
movie.
Reportedly,
Mahesh
Babu
will
be
seen
playing
the
role
of
an
Army
officer
in
this
much-awaited
movie.
