Bollywood actress Pooja Hegde whose first film 'Mohenjo Daro' (2016) opposite Hrithik Roshan tanked at the box-office has put the entire debacle behind her. The actress has now bagged another role in a bilingual film - Hindi and Telegu, which will also star Prabhas in the lead role. While the shoot of 'Saaho' has been delayed it now looks like this film will be Prabhas' next on the silver screen after 'Baahubali 2'. Talking about the film Pooja said that there was, "no question of not going ahead with a film like this."
"The director [Radha Krishna Kumar] and producers [Vamsi Krishna and U Pramod] came to me for the narration. It's a thorough entertainer," she said adding that she is yet to meet Prabhas. When asked if 'Baahubali' fame Prabhas' success in the industry intimidated her she said, "For me, it was intimidating to work with Hrithik as well. But I managed that fine. I don't look at this film as something that should intimidate me. It's an opportunity to prove myself. Prabhas has done that already, it's my turn now. "
Speaking about the entire 'Mohenjo Daro' debacle, she said, "never let it become a confidence issue. The reviews didn't slam me. I was praised for my screen presence. Whether a film does well or not, is not in my hands." Stay tuned for more updates.
