There goes our excitement down south. Reports of Pooja Hegde coming on board for Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi made headlines when Bollywood Bubble reported the same. As per their sources, Akshay was insisting that Rohit cast her in his next cop drama with him. He was immensely impressed with her acting abilities in Housefull 4 and wanted to sign her for Sooryavanshi. However, when ZoomTV.com got in touch with the director, he refuted all these stories. If his statement is to believe, no actress is approached for the role yet and Pooja coming on board is a completely false and baseless story. Simmba: Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi, Ajay Devgn’s Golmaal 5 – 5 Upcoming Movies Teased by Rohit Shetty in Ranveer Singh’s Film.

Rohit insists that he's still busy writing script for Sooryavasnshi. He and his team are still in the process of finishing the final draft and no actress has been finalised for the project yet. Well, we hope the team is able to lock down the final script and the hunt for the leading lady ends real soon. Since the project still has some time to go on floors, we doubt if it will get a release in 2019. Akshay Kumar-Rohit Shetty's Film Sooryavanshi to Go on Floors Sooner Than You Think!

Akshay currently has as many as five projects in his kitty and leaving Sooryavanshi, they all are slated to release in 2019. With films like Kesari, Housefull 4, Good News, Mission Mangal and Rohit's cop drama, Akshay has a packed schedule lying ahead of him. Well, seems like this year belongs to the Khiladi of Bollywood already.
