Despite the fact that two schedules of the film are already shot, young hero Akhil Akkineni is not able to lock down a heroine for his latest film being directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar. Finally, it looks like the young hero can heave a sigh of relief.

Reports are now coming that finally, Akhil succeeded in convincing Geetha Arts to get Pooja Hegde aboard. Though the names of Kiara Advani and Pooja Hegde are considered initially, Allu Arvind is said to have rejected the idea of roping in such costly heroines as they are making the film on a limited budget.

After considering various names, it looks like once again Pooja Hegde is approached. And her dates came not easily, as the makers are said to be splurging in what could be called as bringing the costliest heroine ever for Akhi.

Pooja is said to have charged 3.5 crores to come aboard for this film and might join the shooting of the movie very soon. On the other hand, Pooja will be seen in films like Valmiki and Ala Vaikuntapuramlo along with Prabhas-Radhakrishna movie.
