Pooja Hegde roped in opposite Vijay Deverakonda in Puri Jagannadh’s JGM?

Pooja Hegde is likely to be paired opposite Vijay Deverakonda in JGM. The film is to be directed by Puri Jagannadh.

Pooja Hegde was recently seen in Thalapathy Vijay's Beast. Now, we hear that the actress could be sharing the screen with Vijay Deverakonda for the latter's next film, JGM. Puri Jagannadh is set to direct this intense action thriller which was officially announced a few weeks back. This project will be hitting the floor soon and an official announcement about the lead cast and crew will be made in due course.

Vijay Deverakonda recently wrapped up Liger. He now looks set to share the screen with Pooja Hegde for his upcoming film, JGM, which will be directed by Puri Jagannadh. If that really is the case, JGM will mark the first collaboration between Vijay Deverakonda and Pooja Hegde. They are two of the most loved stars in Telugu cinema and their coming together could well leave a large section of the audience greatly excited.

As we had exclusively revealed earlier, Vijay Deverakonda's ongoing film, featuring Samantha as the female lead, has been titled Khushi. The title and first-look poster of the film will be out on May 9, on the occasion of Vijay's birthday.

Khushi is an intense love drama directed by Shiva Nirvana. Vijay Deverakonda is expected to shoot for both Khushi and JGM simultaneously. Vijay will make his pan-India debut with Liger, which is slated for theatrical release on August 25. Vijay will also be collaborating with Sukumar for a big-budget project, and he might begin shooting for the same in 2023.
