But, in the end, it was pooja hegde who won the race comfortably. Earlier, pooja hegde missed two big offers from tamil cinema. She missed Suriya's 'Aruvaa' under Hari's direction and an untitled movie with STR. Ironically, both the movies were grabbed by Raashi Khanna. Even for 'Thalapathy 65' it was rashmika mandanna who was the first choice. But, the actress who is already committed to various movies was unable to allott the dates.
Easily, the offer went to pooja hegde and the actress gladly accepted the offer. pooja hegde made her debut in tamil with Jiiva's 'Mugamoodi' and that movie went unnoticed totally. Even pooja hegde was criticized so badly for her lean appearance and dusky skin tone at the time of the release.
