Following the reports of Katrina Kaif being part of Prabhas-starrer Saaho (Sahoo), now latest buzz suggests Pooja Hegde will be seen romancing the Baahubali 2 star.

It has been reported that the makers of Saaho have approached Pooja to play the female lead in the multi-lingual film. The official announcement will also be made soon, according to the reports.

"The makers have started work on the casting after the teaser of the film was released with Baahubali 2 last month. Once Prabhas comes back from his holidays, they will make an official announcement on the cast," Catch News quoted a source as saying.

After the splendid success of Baahubali 2, Prabhas has become a global star. Saaho too is reported to be a massive project, which will be released in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. Having made her debut with Hrithik Roshan in Mohenjo Daro, Pooja is just one-film old in Bollywood. But she has done a couple of films in the south industry.

While Mohenjo Daro was a big flop, her other regional films also did not do much well at the box office. So, why are the makers of Saaho willing to cast not-so-successful Pooja opposite Prabhas, who has become such a rage after the overwhelming success of Baahubali 2?

Katrina is definitely one of the most popular Bollywood divas, and if at all she was offered the role in Saaho, she must have demanded a huge fee. While on the other side, considering Pooja's track record, she should be much affordable.

Prabhas was seen romancing Tamannaah Bhatia in Baahubali: The Beginning, and then she romanced Anushka Shetty in Baahubali 2. Both the actresses are quite big in the south industry. So, will it be a good idea for Prabhas to share screen space with Pooja in his next movie Saahoo? You can leave your comments below.
