Director Harish Shankar, who is busy directing Valmiki, the Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster Jigarthanda has taken time out of his busy schedule to clear the air on some rumours about the film, cast and other things which have been doing rounds on the internet since a couple of days.
Few online portals have written that Pooja Hegde is not convinced to play the leading lady of this film and the reason is the remuneration. But it is said that it is just a rumour and the news is not true.
He took to his official Twitter handle and wrote, “As the news are going viral I feel responsible to give clarity on these two things. 1) The remuneration thing about @hegdepooja is not true 2) As you all know, I love to direct Power Star the news about recent meeting is also not true.” (sic)
He added, “I request all the film lovers to wait for theofficial announcement either from me or from Production House … Thank you :)” (sic)
