Pooja Hegde, who will be part of Prabhas's next movie, will now work on Akhil Akkineni's movie as Prabhas's film schedule has been pushed. She recently signed Akhil Akkineni's fourth film as the female lead.

Speaking about it, a source said, "Pooja plays a strong and mature role that drives the story from beat to beat, through conflict to resolution. Akhil will be seen in his real self -- in a soft and restrained avatar with a stylish makeover in the film. The audience will fall in love with their sparkling chemistry and characterisation."
