Mahesh to romance with Pooja Hegde: Confirmed

Hyderabad, Jan 02: Ever since producer Dil Raju and Aswini Dutt announced their new film featuring Mahesh Babu in the lead, rumors made rounds that several actors, including Rakul Preet and Anu Emmanuel, were in the race to play the female lead.

Now we hear from a source close to the producer, that Pooja Hegde will be the one sharing screen space with the superstar in his 25th film.

Interestingly, if true, this will be her third project in Dil Raju's production after Duvvada Jagannadham aka DJ and the yet-to-be-launched Srinivasa Kalyanam co-starring Nithiin.

With her curvaceous looks becoming talk everywhere, offers came raining for her. Reports are coming that other day Pooja has officially signed Mahesh's films as the agreement formalities are done.

Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, the film tentatively titled #Mahesh25 will be shot extensively in the US. Devi Sri Prasad is scoring the music.
