'. That’s not all. We have reliably learnt that the filmmakers have initiated negotiations with Pooja Hegde as well for the role. “'Sahoo' is a big ticket action film that will be releasing in Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi besides Telugu. The filmmakers want to rope in a leading lady who is popular all over the country, which is why they approached Katrina. The deliberations are on,” shares a source in the film’s unit adding, “It is a very stylised character that would be perfect for a big ticket Bollywood actress. After considering a lot of names the filmmakers also approached Pooja Hegde for the role. The actress evinced interest, talks are on.”
