After much speculation, it appears that actor Akshay Kumar will be teaming up with director Rohit Shetty for his next venture. The pair had kind of made the announcement through a small clip that was played at the end of Ranveer Singh starrer Simmba, in which Akshay was seen in the role of a cop. The two are said to be planning on kick starting the movie sometime around April, with Akshay already having a leading lady in mind who will star opposite him.
A source stated, "There's hardly any space for a Heroine. That's how most of Rohit's films are designed except a few. The cop dramas have always had minute roles for all the actresses and it's a similar case for Sooryavanshi as well. The leading female part is approximately only 15-20 minutes of screen time, inclusive of songs.
"Pooja Hegde! Akshay has been instrumental in telling Rohit to consider her for the part. Akshay and Pooja who are paired opposite each other in one of the portions in Housefull 4, have become close over the last few months and developed a special friendship. So he instinctively had her name on his mind when they were scouting for a fresh female face, added our source.
