Abhiruchi Cookery Show – December Episodes

Pooja Hegde is reportedly in talks for director Anil Ravipudi’s next Telugu entertainer, which will once again feature Venkatesh Daggubati in the lead role. If finalized, the project will mark the fourth collaboration between Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh after the successful outings of F2, F3, and the recent Sankranthiki Vastunnam.

Venkatesh also made a notable guest appearance in Anil Ravipudi’s blockbuster Bhagavanth Kesari, further strengthening their long-standing association. Over the years, the director has experimented with different pairings for Venkatesh—Tamannaah in F2 and F3, Aishwarya Rajesh as his wife and Meenakshi Chaudhary as his former lover in Sankranthiki Vastunnam.

Now, the latest industry buzz suggests that Pooja Hegde is the frontrunner to play the female lead, with Keerthy Suresh also said to be under consideration. If Pooja Hegde comes on board as Venkatesh’s romantic interest, it would certainly be an unexpected and intriguing casting choice.

The duo previously shared screen space in the 2023 Bollywood film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, where Pooja played Salman Khan’s love interest and Venkatesh’s sister. With discussions still in the preliminary stage, it remains to be seen whether Pooja Hegde will make the transition from playing Venkatesh’s sister to his on-screen love interest in this upcoming Telugu entertainer.
