Jr NTR starrer Devara Part 1 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting pan-India films this year. The Koratala Siva directorial also stars Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist Bhaira and Janhvi Kapoor as Jr NTR's love interest Thangam. With a star-studded cast in place already, the makers are keen on making the film even bigger by reportedly planning to rope in a leading actress for a special song sequence.

A sizzling song sequence to feature in Devara Part 1

According to a source quoted by Deccan Herald, Pooja Hegde is one of the top contenders for a special dance number in Devara Part 1 and she could "clinch the deal". “Pooja has pan-India appeal and also brings in her Bollywood experience. Hence, NTR-Pooja chartbuster is on cards,” the source further stated.

If the efforts of the makers to rope in Pooja for Devara Part 1 materialises, this would mark the actress' second onscreen collaboration with RRR star Jr NTR after Arvinda Sametha Veera Raghava, which released in 2018. “If they come together again on screen, it would be magical," the source shared according to the website.
