Guntur Kaaram: This is why Pooja Hegde backed out of the Mahesh Babu-Trivikram biggie- Exclusive

Guntur Kaaram is one of the most awaited films in recent times as Mahesh Babu has joined hands with director Trivikram Srinivas after a very long time. The action drama has completed two small schedules and the latest schedule is yet to go on floors. Amidst all this, news came out that the film's main lead, Pooja Hegde has walked out of the film voluntarily.

Well, we at OTTplay have lerned exclusively from Pooja's team members that she has indeed walked out of Guntur Kaaram and has allotted her dates to a Hindi project. Well, when asked about the reason for her exit, the source adds that Trivikram Srinivas had altered a major part of Guntur Kaaram and as the new script did not have much importance for Pooja Hegde, she backed out.

This is also the reason news came out today stating Sreeleela is playing the main lead in Guntur Kaaran. Well, as Pooja has left the project, naturally, Sreeleela has got a promotion as the main lead and she is thrilled to bits. Pooja Hegde was being paid four crores for the film and the makers are also thrilled that a lot of money will now be saved thanks to Pooja's exit.

Pooja Hegde was in top form until recently, but back-to-back flops have put her on the back foot. She has no films in Telugu as of now. Guntur Kaaram is also in the news for music composer, Thaman being ousted from the film. He too decided to move away from the project but Trivikram and the producers persuaded him to stay back.

Guntur Kaaram is Mahesh Babu's last film before he does Rajamouli's next which is an adventure drama. The Rajamouli film will take a lot of time to get complete and that is why Mahesh wants Guntur Kaaram to be the best as he will not have a release in the longest time.
