Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated project, “Ustaad Bhagat Singh,” directed by Harish Shankar, is generating excitement as it gears up for a fresh shooting schedule in the first week of September. The official confirmation from the producers has triggered speculation about the film’s cast, particularly regarding star heroine Pooja Hegde’s involvement.
Director Harish Shankar has expressed a strong interest in having Pooja Hegde on board for the project. However, an unexpected twist occurred when the rising star Sreeleela joined the film. The original Tamil movie that serves as the foundation for “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” featured two heroines, leading many to believe that Pooja Hegde would be part of it.
Given Harish’s prior association with Pooja through films like “DJ Duvvada Jagannadham” and “Gaddalakonda Ganesh,” their collaboration seemed likely. Recent buzz suggests that Pooja Hegde has been replaced, with Sakshi Vaidya of “Agent” and “Gandeevadari Arjuna” fame being considered for a role in the upcoming schedule.
In this adaptation, Sreeleela will take on the role originally played by Samantha, while Sakshi Vaidya is set to reprise Amy Jackson’s character. This development marks another missed opportunity for Pooja Hegde, following a similar situation with “Guntur Kaaram.”
It remains to be seen how the casting changes will impact the dynamic of “Ustaad Bhagat Singh,” but fans are undoubtedly eager to witness the new talent and fresh perspectives that Sreeleela and Sakshi Vaidya bring to the project.
