Guntur Kaaram to undergo a change in cast as Pooja Hegde opts out
“The shooting timelines of Guntur Kaaram kept on changing. The team was shooting for some sequences, deciding one timeframe for the next schedule but that’s delayed again due to varied issues. Some of the portions already shot were getting into the reshoot mode. There were also changes in the script at regular intervals, which resulted in multiple other people also backing out. After several contemplations on what to do, Pooja Hegde has decided to part ways citing date issues,” revealed a source close to the development.
The source further added that Pooja is committed to doing multiple other films in the timeframe of June to December, and choosing to go ahead with Guntur Kaaram might hamper her schedules of other films. “She was not happy with how things were proceeding and put forth her plight with the producers and director before moving out. Pooja will now shift her base to doing other films in Telugu and Hindi,” the source added. Apart from Pooja, music director Thaman is also no longer associated with the film and the buzz indicates that the team is on the verge of having Anirudh on board.
