Exclusive: Lady producer’s ego problems with star heroine

In what could be considered as a strange development of sorts, an ego clash has sparked between a noted lady producer and a star heroine in Tollywood.

Going into the story, the makers of Hanu Raghavapudi’s upcoming project featuring Dulquer Salman in the lead role planned to rope in Pooja Hegde for the female lead role. They even initiated talks with the dusky beauty.

Incidentally, Pooja quoted a hefty remuneration for the project and Priyanka Dutt who is producing the project was taken aback by the former’s financial demand.

Priyanka later asked Pooja Hegde to reduce her remuneration, citing the scale and the theme of the project. But she did not receive a positive response from Pooja’s side and the latter was very particular about her remuneration.

Pooja’s attitude did not go well with Priyanka and she decided not to cast the Radhe Shyam actress in Hanu – Dulquer project. The ego clash between the duo resulted in Pooja not getting the leading lady role. The makers are now in search of other options and Bollywood beauty Mrunal Thakur is said to be in the pole position lo bag the role.
