Director Koratala Siva, known for delivering blockbuster movies like Mirchi and Bharat Ane Nenu, has a tough choice to make. Actresses Kajal Aggarwal and Pooja Hegde, who shared screen space in his last release Acharya, are both vying for a special song, an item number, in his upcoming film Devara, and looks the director locked one.
Siva is known for incorporating item-numbers numbers into his movies, and he has earlier made Kajal Aggarwal do a special song titled ‘Pakka Local’ in Janatha Garage. But then, he later roped in Kajal as leading lady for Megastar Chiru’s Acharya, and unfortunately, all the scenes of the actress were edited out, as part of a creative decision taken. The film’s other heroine, Pooja Hegde who got paired with Ram Charan, also didn’t get enough mileage from the film however. And now, among Kajal and Pooja, the decision of who to cast is proving to be a challenge for the director.
The industry is abuzz with speculation about who will bag the coveted role. Some believe Kajal’s experience might give her the edge, while others point to Pooja’s recent success at the box office. Ultimately, the decision rests with Koratala Siva, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see which actress will light up the screen in Devara’s special song scored by Anirudh. Talk is coming out that Pooja is finalised too!
