Inside circles are buzzing with the news that the makers of Allu Arjun's highly anticipated actioner with Lokesh Kanagaraj are strongly considering Pooja Hegde for the leading lady.Whenever Pooja needs a career boost, the Icon Star seems to be her ultimate lucky charm. 

Back when she was a newbie struggling for a hit, Duvvada Jagannadham gave her a massive break. Later, their magical pairing in Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo propelled her popularity to Bollywood and Internationally as the iconic "Butta Bomma".

Currently, she is at another crossroads after facing back-to-back disasters. Even her upcoming Bollywood film with Varun Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, where she crossed all the glam limits with two piece bikinis, is suffering from very low buzz. 

She featured in Tamil films like Retro and Jana Nayagan while Retro did not really help her despite de-glam role, Jana Nayagan is yet to release. But the real game-changer is her recent stint in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie. 

Her special appearance in the "Monica" song became a massive chartbuster, and sources say Lokesh now wants to give a full-fledged role to his "Monica" in this new project. With Lokesh's vision and her ultimate career savior Allu Arjun back in the picture, Pooja's grand comeback seems perfectly set.
