"Pooja Hegde is a hard worker. Even though Tamil is not her native language, she learnt the language and spoke her lines," said Beast director Nelson.
If you're obsessed with Indian action flicks, it's likely that you're replaying the trailer of Thalapathy Vijay and Pooja Hegde's 'Beast' in your head. While the darling of the masses makes sure we feel the power, terror and fire of his upcoming film, filmmaker Nelson Dilipkumar reveals the story behind casting the fresh pair in a film that marked Pooja's homecoming to Tamil cinema.
The writer-director envisioned that she would not only spark great chemistry with the star but also emerge as the perfect fit for the part given the fabulous job she did in the blockbuster 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo'.
Nelson Dilipkumar said, "When we were finalizing the cast for Beast, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo had also just released. In that movie, Pooja had done a fabulous job and won hearts nationally. I wanted a pairing that would be new and fresh, someone who has never worked with Vijay sir. Pooja was the perfect fit keeping all of this in mind. She's a hard worker, and even though Tamil is not her native language, she learnt the language and spoke her lines."
