Dusky beauty Pooja Hegde is currently enjoying the success of Mahesh Babu-starrer Maharshi. Besides, it is already known that the actress was managed to rope in for Gabbar Singh director Harish Shankar's next title Valmiki. It was said that she charged a bomb for this film. Looks like she got miffed with all the bad press about her high remuneration.

Harish Shankar and his team failed to convince Pooja Hegde and they are now in the hunt for the right actress who can do justice for the role. The film is a remake of Tamil hit Jigarthanda and features Varun Tej and Tamil actor Atharva Murali in the lead roles. “With Pooja Hegde out of the film, the makers are now searching for another actress,” adds the source. It is also heard that the Aravinda Sametha actress Pooja who also signed Bollywood films was unable to adjust the dates for Valmiki.
She has two biggies in her kitty - Allu Arjun and Trivikram’s untitled film and Prabhas’s 20th movie that is being directed by Radhakrishna Kumar. Pooja Hegde who is occupied with work is quoting huge remuneration for her movies. The shoot of Valmiki will be completed by July and will release during the last week of August.
