SSMB 28: Pooja Hegde remuneration for Mahesh Babu, Trivikram film!

Leggy lass Pooja Hegde has been roped in to play the female lead opposite Prince Mahesh Babu in his new film with Trivikram Srinivas. While she is yet to sign on the dotted line, a source in the know informed us that Pooja Hegde has pocketed a whopping Rs 2.75 crore as her remuneration for SSMB 28.

This is 25 lakhs higher than what she is getting for Vijay-starrer Thalapathy 65. Looks like the actress has increased her remuneration owing to her busy schedule and we hear, she now stands only next to Anushka Shetty, who is getting Rs 3 crore for a Telugu film.

Billed to be a romantic action entertainer, SSMB 28 will go on floors either in July or August. Produced by Suryadevara Radha Krishna (Chinna Babu) under Haarika & Hassine Creations banner, the film will bring her together with Mahesh Babu for the second time after Maharshi.

Besides Mahesh Babu-Trivikram film, Pooja is also shooting for Prabhas's pan-Indian film Radhe Shyam, Chiranjeevi's socio-political entertainer Acharya and Akhil Akkineni's rom-com Most Eligible Bachelor. The actress is also working in Ranveer Singh's Hindi film Cirkus.
