Pooja Hegde paid more than Akhil Akkineni for 'Most Eligible Bachelor'

With back to back super hit movies like 'Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava', Pooja Hegde has become one of the most happening heroines in Tollywood. She has made a splash even in Bollywood, with 'Housefull 4' becoming a super hit. Pooja Hegde started off with a flop film in Telugu. Her first two films Mukunda and Oka Laila Kosam failed at the box-office. Even her Hindi debut did not bring her any dividends. However, it looks like her luck might be changing. The actress has a bunch of interesting projects in her kitty at the moment. We already know that Pooja is playing the female lead in Akhil Akkineni's 4th movie, titled 'Most Eligible Bachelor'. As per the latest reports, Pooja Hegde is receiving a very high remuneration in comparison to co-star Akhil Akkineni.

The young hero, who is in a dire need of success, has signed an agreement with the producer. He only received a cheque of one crore rupees before starting the project. Pooja Hegde, on the other hand, has reportedly received a sum of 1.5 crores for this movie. Akhil's three previous movies failed miserably and there is no market for the actor right now. It seems like the final remuneration of Akhil is the amount that he already got. It is ossile that he may recieve further payment after the movie's success. Touted to be a romantic love story, the Geetha Arts 2 banner is bankrolling this project.  Bommarillu Bhaskar is directing the venture on which Akhil has pinned all his hopes.
